Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, Upper Falls

these are the Lower Falls of the Yellowstone... the Upper Falls are smaller but are UPstream.

View it large On Black.

Yellowstone has it's own "Grand Canyon" with 2 major waterfalls. The walls of the canyon are extremely steep and very colorful. As you can see, the river rages as the bottom. This shot was taken from Artist Point. I think you can guess why it is called that.

Taken in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, U.S.A. (P0000479)

Wonderful photo and subject. My family was out there years ago and my brother disappeared. We finally saw him waving at us from the top
by the falls. My Dad was almost berserk!

Great shot Roger. Also thanks for the info, it makes sense there would be gorges but hadn't seen one before.
