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.
