Falling Water In Yellowstone
The Lower Falls of the Yellowstone River, gushing with spring snowmelt. Cascading from the 590,000 year old Canyon Rhyolite lava flow, Lower Yellowstone Falls is the largest volume waterfall in the Rocky Mountains of the United States. These falls are 308 feet (94 m) high, or nearly twice as high as Niagara Falls. The volume of water flowing over Lower Yellowstone Falls can vary from 680 cu ft/s (19 m3/s) in the autumn, to 8,400 cu ft/s (240 m3/s) at peak runoff in late springtime.
Thanks very much for stopping by, and for your continued kind comments and favorites. They are greatly appreciated.
