  • Between Roosevelt Lodge and Tower Fall you can see some magnificent views of The Grand Canyon of Yellowstone, which was cut by the longest free-flowing river in the lower 48 states. Yellowstone River actually flows northward through Wyoming into Montana.

  • In 1988 a series of fires combined to destroy over 30% of Yellowstone National Park. On Mt. Washburn you see the burnt remnants of 200 year old lodgepole pines poking out of short, but dense rebirth.
