Rustic Waterfall, Yellowstone

This 15m-high waterfall is a few kilometres south of Mammoth on US-89 in the Golden Gate Canyon. It cannot be missed, because it is right by the side of the road and clearly visible when approaching from the north.

 

It is somewhat unusual as the base of the waterfall appears to be as broad as the fall is tall, giving a very fan-shaped perspective when seen head-on. The falls are on Glen Creek and highlight the bedding planes clearly visible in the rock face on the far side.

 

Seen in late August when the flow is presumably at its lowest...
