Downstream from the main part of the canyon, the Yellowstone River winds in a narrow ribbon through the gray and buff walls of a rocky gorge. With the changing light, the river varies from silver to jade green.
Not far from Chittenden Bridge, the Yellowstone plunges down the Upper Falls. Seen from the lookout platform or from the camera viewpoint here, the fury and power of the cataract is indescribably impressive.
Looking northeast from Inspiration Point, the canyon of the Yellowstone spreads its splendor before you. Do an about-face here and the view is toward the lower falls. Rapids lace the dark water with creamy foam.
