Waterfalls of the North Grand Loop (Canyon/Mammoth/Roosevelt)

The Colorful Palette Spring - one of the terraces in the Mammoth area



Anchored by Yellowstone's own Grand Canyon, the North Grand Loop is where you'll find the park's largest and most spectacular waterfalls. You'll have a difficult time choosing between seeing the waterfalls, looking at colorful terraces at Mammoth, wolf-spotting in the Lamar Valley, bathing in the Boiling River, or bear-watching near Roosevelt. There's lots to do here and you'll want to take your time to truly experience this section of the park.

Of course, the greatest waterfalls in this region sit in the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River - Lower Falls and Upper Falls. Especially in the case of Lower Falls, this often-photographed waterfall has graced countless postcards and calendars and is an iconic symbol of America's first national park.

Near Roosevelt, you'll find one of the most beautiful waterfalls in the park in Tower Fall as well as the tall and impressive Osprey Falls deep in the Sheepeater Canyon.
