Looking downstream from the north rim of this colorful canyon.
Red Rock Point in view on the left. Great views of the Lower Falls visible from this viewing point. Only section of this canyon I haven't experienced. The trail was closed for construction last time here. Darn, gotta go back....
The canyon is roughly 20 miles long, measured from the Upper Falls to the Tower Falls area. Depth is 800 to 1,200 ft.; width is 1,500 to 4,000 ft.
The Yellowstone River begins on the slopes of Yount Peak, south of the park, and travels more than 600 miles to its terminus in North Dakota where it empties into the Missouri River. It is the longest undammed river in the continental United States.
Thanks for your visit and for any comments, faves or suggestions!
