Description
Waterfall in Yellowstone National Park. Cascading from the 590,000 year old Canyon Rhyolite lava flow, Lower Yellowstone Falls is the largest volume waterfall in the Rocky Mountains of the United States. These falls are 308 feet (94 m) high, or nearly twice as high as Niagara Falls. The volume of water flowing over Lower Yellowstone Falls can vary from 680 cu ft/s (19 m3/s) in the autumn, to 8,400 cu ft/s (240 m3/s) at peak runoff in late springtime.[citation needed] The flow rate of Lower Yellowstone Falls is much less than that of Niagara Falls, as the Yellowstone River is only 70 feet (21 m) at the point at which it goes over the lower falls, whereas the Niagara River is 2,600 feet (790 m) in width as it approaches the crest line of Horseshoe Falls.
Proceeds from the sale of this photograph goes to help orphaned and abandoned children in Colombia South America.

Fabulous shot! I grew up on a ranch near Cody WY--about 80 miles from Yellowstone Park.

Wonderful perspective here. Love the capture of the spray and mist, as well as the dramatic cascade.
