Lower Falls In May

This view of the Lower Falls of the Yellowstone River is from Artist Point on the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone’s South Rim, but many other perspectives await from nearby hiking trails and viewpoints on both sides of the canyon. In summer, look for soaring ravens, zooming violet-green swallows, and ospreys raising their young from nests atop pinnacles, but also watch your step, as drop-offs are unforgiving in this steep, rugged area of Yellowstone.
