Hiking | Upper Falls Viewpoint
Hype:
This easy walk takes you to two viewpoints of the Upper Falls, which drops 109 ft (33 m) over a lip of volcanic rock. Upstream of the waterfall, you can see the old Canyon Bridge, which today is part of the North Rim Trail. From the left overlook, look downstream to glimpse Crystal Falls on the opposite side of the canyon.

We really enjoyed our visit to the Canyon Area. We stopped at the Yellowstone River Overlook, hiked down Uncle Tom's Trail, stopped at the Upper Falls Viewpoint, and visited Artist Point.
