What are the best waterfall hikes in Wyoming?
Wyoming is such a beautiful state, and it's lucky for nature lovers that there are plenty of opportunities to find waterfalls nearby. The three falls of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone are the most famous, but there are other great cascades both in Yellowstone and outside of the park. Shell Falls is a favorite of people driving through the northern part of the Cowboy State.
Are there any great waterfall hikes outside of Wyoming's busy parks?
The hikes to Bucking Mule and Porcupine Falls are two relatively easy hikes that aren't in the crowded National Parks. The Intermittent Spring in Afton is relatively close to Jackson, and it's one of the state's most interesting geologic wonders.
Which waterfall is the tallest in Wyoming?
Silver Cord Falls is the tallest waterfall in Wyoming. It tumbles 1,200 feet down the flanks of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. It's a thin horsetail-type waterfall, and most people who visit the Canyon area of America's first National Park won't even notice it's there. The three waterfalls of the Canyon area are each beautiful, but the Upper and Lower Falls get most of the attention from visitors.
