Plunging 132 feet past dramatic volcanic spires, Tower Fall ranks among Yellowstone’s most picturesque waterfalls. Named for the towering pinnacles of volcanic rock that stand sentinel around its cascade, this elegant waterfall draws visitors to its viewing platform year-round. The surrounding Tower-Roosevelt area, with its rugged basalt columns and pine forests, provides a striking backdrop for this natural wonder and serves as prime habitat for black bears, grizzlies, and agile bighorn sheep. A short paved trail from the parking area leads to the primary overlook.
