Introduction

The center of Yellowstone National Park is the Canyon area, and the most famous attraction is the Yellowstone Grand Canyon, which is 32 kilometers long and 360 meters deep. It boasts magnificent canyon scenery and waterfalls, with Lookout Point being the best viewing spot. The lower waterfall, which is 94 meters high, is one of the highest waterfalls in terms of drop height. The viewing spot is Artist Point, with trails including Uncle Tom's Trail and Brink of Lower Fall Trail. The former offers views of the Lower Yellowstone Falls, while the latter provides views of the Upper Yellowstone Falls. Uncle Tom's Trail is recommended to be walked first. In addition, there are viewing points on the other side of the Yellowstone Grand Canyon, including Lookout Point, Grand View, and Inspiration Point, which are excellent viewing locations, but the road is one way, so it is better to first drive to Canyon Village. If time is tights, these attractions should not be missed.
