Where the Waterfalls Are

Cody sits in or near the Yellowstone and Grand Teton area of Wyoming. Northwest Wyoming holds the great majority of the state's falls. In Yellowstone's Grand Canyon, the Upper and Lower Falls of the Yellowstone River plunge over hard volcanic rock into a canyon of yellow and orange rhyolite, viewed from rim trails and overlooks. Along the Grand Loop Road, Undine Falls steps down in three tiers and Wraith Falls lies at the end of a short walk. In the southwest, Mystic Falls drops along the Little Firehole River near the geyser basins, Firehole Falls pours through a volcanic canyon, and Moose Falls sits near the South Entrance. In Grand Teton, Hidden Falls is usually reached by boat shuttle across Jenny Lake plus a short hike. Read the Wyoming waterfall guide.
