    Hiking

    Lower Falls is the largest waterfall in Yellowstone National Park, standing at 308 feet tall. The falls are said to be the second most photographed place in the park, just being edged out by Old Faithful. Numerous viewing locations are found on each side of the gorge, but the views from nearby Artist Point are the most popular for visitors.
