Plan A Visit To Tower Fall, Wyoming’s Beautifully Blue Waterfall

Yellowstone National Park features stunning waterfalls, including the popular Tower Fall, which is significant in U.S. history.

A trip to Yellowstone National Park will showcase the most beautiful and stunning cascades in the country. This Wyoming park is packed with stunning displays, from the Upper and Lower Falls of the Yellowstone River, to the enchanting Fairy Falls, to the roaring Kepler Cascades, it's hard to imagine a place on Earth with more fodder for waterfall enthusiasts. One of the most gorgeous cascades in the park emerges from a beautiful deep blue creek, and you can see the waterfall itself and then wander down towards the creek for a relaxing and easy adventure.

Tower Fall is one of the most visited waterfalls in Yellowstone National Park, and all it takes is one visit to truly appreciate its beauty.

Tower Creek tumbles down this cascade on its way into the Yellowstone River, and many visitors to the park stop to see the tall waterfall on their way out towards the Lamar Valley.

It's hard to catch a view from the base, as there aren't trails that will take you. Rather, pretty much everyone views the falls from a platform overlook.

From the overlook, you can take the Tower Fall trail down to see the bright blue waters of Tower Creek.

Though you won't catch a view of the waterfall from down here, this quick half-mile trail takes you to a spot that's perfect for a picnic.

Relax by the gorgeous aquamarine water of the creek and take in the true beauty of Yellowstone when you visit Tower Fall in Wyoming.

Tower Fall is significant to Wyoming's history, as it was an 1871 painting by Thomas Moran that helped convince Congress to declare the world's first National Park.

Though it was originally named Tower Falls by Samuel Hauser, who called the falls the most beautiful he had ever seen - the USGS renamed it to Tower Fall in 1928.
