The 10 Best Waterfalls in Wyoming, United States

December 16, 2021 Oliva Fomby

Wyoming boasts a positively selfish hoard of natural outdoor beauty! From the soaring peaks of the Grand Tetons to Jackson Hole valley and Yellowstone National Park, the mountain landscape and natural wonders of Wyoming are breathtaking. All-season outdoor activities prove a natural draw for families, couples and group getaways. Sports lovers golf through spring and summer at attractive rates or tackle river and lake fishing, hunting and hiking. Families take to Alpine skiing and snowmobiling in Jackson Hole, Snow King, Grand Targhee and Pine Creek. Every visitor is awed by the deep canyons and steaming geysers of The Yellowstone National Park. Each magnificent sight rivals the next. The Grand Tetons rise over a mile above Jackson Hole valley, where a ride on the Aerial Tram from Teton Village offers unforgettable views. Across the entire state, wildlife stakes its rightful claim, from bison and bighorn sheep herds to black bear and mountain elk. For a step back in frontier history, take the family to Go Native America to experience Native American culture, history and arts of the Plains Tribes. Enjoy tours with indigenous guides, horseback riding and roping lessons. With every experience, your family will gain a sense of the pioneer spirit that pushed America westward.

A spectacular waterfall located in Canyon Country.

Reviewed By Tommy599 - Two Rivers, United States

We crossed Chittenden bridge across the Yellowstone river; stopping first at Uncle Toms to view the smaller upper Falls, then on to Artist Point to view the MAGNIFICENT lower falls and the unbelievable colors of the canyon. It is IMPOSSIBLE to describe the majesty of this waterfall and canyon colors, so we will not even try,

Popo Agie Falls Trail

Reviewed By pickupthepace - Mesa, United States

Fun hike up to a series of waterfalls. It is impossible to get all the falls in one photo shot so the photos you may see online don't serve justice for this incredible cascade. The trail has no shade and in July it was pretty hot. Where a hat, sunscreen and bring water. We were alarmed by the number of people that were hiking without any water and they looked rather haggard up at the top. In these conditions the hike seemed a bit much for young children but if they are used to moderately steep unshaded uphill hikes than maybe they would be ok.

The Buffalo Bill Reservoir

Reviewed By Yorkiemom19 - Manassas, United States

Beautiful drive around the reservoir and the dam. The visitor center has a very informative film about the history of the dam construction. It's truly amazing how i was built with the tools and equipment they had at the time. Go the speed limit so you can catch the amazing views of the surrounding mountains and gorgeous Shoshone River.

Mystic Falls Trail

Reviewed By CatchBooker - New Mills, United Kingdom

Set off from near Old Faithful towards Biscuit Basin and accidentally stumbled upon the Mystic Falls Trail and it turned out to be one of the better memories from my Tour of National Parks And Canyon Country. The steep bit going up hill I'm ashamed to say I struggled with a little, I had a good pace going as I was speed walking past everyone on the way up but it was sapping away my strength and I was haemorrhaging sweat at an alarming rate. It was much more of a stroll on the way back down and as the whole thing was spontaneous and unplanned the waterfall (highlight) turned out be a nice surprise, definitely worth the effort.

Upper Falls

Reviewed By phat_dawg_21 - Alpharetta, United States

The Upper Falls are about 110 feet high and mark the area where the Yellowstone River leaves the Hayden Valley, on its way into the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. Make the short drive to the Brink of the Upper Falls where you will find three more great areas where you can view the river as it flows over the falls.

Nice short paved trail to Gibbon Falls. Well worth a stop when visiting Yellowstone. Parking can be an issue depending when visiting.
