In past years I have pretty much
concentrated solely on photographing wildlife on our annual trips to Yellowstone National Park. This year I decided to try and expand my choices and try and work on photographing some of the beautiful scenery as well.
Some of the more fascinating scenery in Yellowstone are all of the waterfalls. There are over 40 waterfalls located with in Yellowstone. Unfortunately due to time, location and availability
to the falls we were only able to visit a few.
The
pictures in this post are from Tower Fall. Tower Fall is the point where the Tower Creek ends by plunging 132 feet to join the Yellowstone River below. The falls were named by Samuel
Hauser, who was a member of the
Washburn expedition, back in 1870. He named them Tower Falls for the towers and spires that the river has cut into the rock at the top of the falls. Unfortunately the base of the falls was not
accessible to us during our trip because the snow melt had caused the Yellowstone River to rise up and wash over the path so I could only shoot from the over look across from the falls.

Nice scenery.
Perfect for Watery Wednesday. I'll bet the sound from those falls really was loud.
You did get some great shots when you were there.
FYI, that trail has been washed out for many years; I miss the days when you could really see the towers from the bottom of the fall.
I would die to go to Yellow Stone, I am so jealous and you captured this just beautifully!
Great falls.
