Artist Point Waterfall Hike. Many people think that this was the spot where famous artist thomas moran painted to inspire congress in 1872. I’m talking about artist point on the south rim of the grand canyon of the yellowstone and its grand waterfall, lower falls.
Plenty of parking and other trails to venture. Artist point has been around for decades. Simply a short hike away from the parking area and you leave the crowds behind, get a sample of yosemite’s famous trails, and then arrive at artist point.
Share back to what to do.
You can hike down the hill as of now but not sure if that's seasonal. A rainbow that grew in vibrancy over 1, 2 maybe 3 minutes and then, poof, as quickly as it rose up to meet our eyes from artist point, the perfect waterfall rainbow was gone, back down in the water. Also, those people own a darling little gift shop and odd little museum atop the trail, which is where the logbook is. Haynes as early as 1883, provides what is perhaps the most beautiful views of the entire grand canyon of the yellowstone and of lower yellowstone falls some 308 feet high.
