The One Spot In Wyoming Where You Can See Some Of The Most Beautiful Rainbows On The Planet

Wyoming is filled with an abundance of beauty created by nature, some which occur as a natural phenomenon. One of these spots in Wyoming is the Yellowstone Falls. Here, the landscape is majestic, powerful and utterly breathtaking. It’s also the one spot in Wyoming where you can see some of the most beautiful rainbows.

All that's needed to create one of the most beautiful things on earth are 2 basic elements: sunlight and water.

The Yellowstone Falls are the ideal location for both of these elements to ignite.

The sun penetrates the water droplets in the atmosphere.

The dispersion of light creates a beautiful display of colors.

Rainbows are renowned for their brilliant colors which vary in intensity.

The colors of rainbows appear differently depending on their surroundings.

Some colors are absorbed by surrounding objects.

While others are reflected by surrounding objects and make rainbows appear vivid and bright.

Rainbows are made up of 7 colors: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.

Check out the double rainbow.
