Description

Back in 1870, the Lower Yellowstone Falls (Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming USA ) was described thus: “A grander scene than the lower cataract of the Yellowstone was never witnessed by mortal eyes.” This is the view of this grand waterfall from the North Rim. It’s hard to tell from a distance but the Lower falls is 308’ tall and twice the height of Niagara Falls! It is also the tallest waterfall in Yellowstone. However, its flow is seasonal, with peak springtime flows of 63,500 gal/sec (which is about what is seen here) to only 5,000 gal/sec in the fall. 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) wide 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.
