Very crowded in Yellowstone on Labor Day. Spent a lot of time trying to find and wait for available parking spaces, and the one-way road in the Canyon area did not help much.
The roads were pretty jammed as well. Even the wildlife seemed to notice this and generally stayed at least a half mile away from the crowds.
As a result of the crowds and traffic, I decided to skip "Geyser Basin" on this trip; and
continue on to Colter Bay/Grand Teton which turned out to be less crowded.
The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone is the first large canyon on the Yellowstone River downstream from Yellowstone Falls in Yellowstone National Park. The canyon is approximately 24 miles long, between 800 and 1,200 feet deep and from .25 to .75 miles wide.
Which image do you like better? The image on the left is the original. I thought it looked somewhat "flat" or drab, so added a little contrast (which automatically increases the color vibrance).
The Yellowstone River, which originates at Yellowstone Lake to the south, falls through two waterfalls and carves the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone in this area. And with Canyon Village and its visitor services nearby, the two waterfalls are rather easy for visitors to access.
The Lower Falls.
09-17-2011: A double rainbow in the spray of Lower Yellowstone Falls in Yellowstone National Park.
This was taken from the end of Uncle Tom's Trail.
Took shots from all the spots you'd expect in the Canyon area, but the weather was off and on all day. Never was at the right place at the right time as far as light was concerned.
Imaged from Uncle Tom's Trail, a steep climb down into the canyon that is well worth the trip. Note the observation point on the North Rim.

Lower Yellowstone Falls carries the Yellowstone River into the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. We were there in late afternoon on a cloudy day and the light was amazing.

I have been posting images from Yellowstone National Park. This is my last picture from that series. I took this shot from the most popular vantage point called Artist Point. I wanted to post a B&W version as my tribute to so many masters of photography who gave us inspiring images from this spot. Thank you very much for your support and appreciation. Happy clicking!

Lower Yellowstone Falls. Unfortunately, we a solid gray sky and some snow. Not the best light for photography, but still a great place.

only change in the compter was contrast/brightness.
In the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River. The fall has built a huge ice dome in front of the falls.

This photo shows the Lower Yellowstone Falls which are located in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. The falls are part of the Yellowstone River system which has downcut the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, eroding down through the 590,000 year old Canyon Rhyolite lava flow (the brownish colored volcanic rock to the right of the falls). At 308 feet (94 m) high, the Lower Falls are the highest waterfall in Yellowstone National Park, and is the largest volume major waterfall in the Rocky Mountains of the United States.
I took this photo in October 1958 after spending the summer working for a major oil company doing geological surficial structural reconnaissance that preceded geophysical exploration in the Badlands of North Dakota.

The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone is the first large canyon on the Yellowstone River downstream from Yellowstone Falls in Yellowstone National Park. The canyon is approximately 24 miles long, between 800 feet (244m) and 1,200 feet (366m) deep and between one quarter of a mile (.45 km) and three quarters of a mile (1.2 km) wide (from Wikipedia at en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Canyon_of_the_Yellowstone

The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone is the first large canyon on the Yellowstone River downstream from the Lower Yellowstone Falls. The opening shot on the video is the view from Artist Point. The final shot is the view of the Lower Falls from Uncle Tom's Trail. This trail goes from the top of Yellowstone's Grand Canyon down to the base of the Lower Falls. The trail drops 500 feet in a series of more than 300 stairs and paved inclines. Needless to say, it's easier going down than coming up, but the views from below are Spectacular!!

This was our 2013 Christmas card photo. Greetings from Artists Point and the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone.

View of the Yellowstone canyon and the lower Yellowstone falls. The famous painter Thomas Moran said about the canyon that "the beautiful tints were beyond the reach of human art"

The Lower Yellowstone 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. The flow rate of Lower Yellowstone Falls is much less than that of Niagara Falls, as the Yellowstone River is only 70 feet (21 m) at the point at which it goes over the lower falls, whereas the Niagara River is 2,600 feet (790 m) in width as it approaches the crest line of Horseshoe Falls.
