Gibbon Falls
Gibbon Falls is a long and ribbon-like cascade on the Gibbon River tumbling a reported total of 84ft in height. As tempting as it is to try to get a better and different view of the waterfall, we caution you against trying to get to the base of the falls from the roadside lookout as the cliffs are unstable and too steep. Apparently there is also a way to get to the base of this waterfall. We didn't try it, but according to the Rubenstein, et al. book on Yellowstone Waterfalls TRIP REPORTSGUIDEBOOKS / OTHER RESOURCESNEARBY WATERFALLSHave You Been To This Waterfall?

, you can find parking somewhere in Gibbon Meadow (another mile downstream from the official pullout and overlook of the falls) and then walk along the banks of the Gibbon River upstream to the impressive falls. From their photo, it's not necessarily the best view, but it is a different perspective. We might try that if we're fortunate to have another visit to the park.
