Named because of the deep canyon the Yellowstone River has carved, The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone is one of the most impressive sites I've ever seen. Located in Yellowstone National Park, there are countless spectacular views of the raging water and fierce falls. There are two falls, Upper and Lower. Just when you think the view couldn't get better the next view point is just as impressive or even a little better.
