MORE ABOUT THE GIBBONS FALLS

Gibbon Falls, located in the scenic Yellowstone National Park, is a breathtaking waterfall situated along the Gibbon River. This stunning cascade drops approximately 84 feet, creating a spectacular view framed by rugged rock formations and lush surrounding greenery.

Visitors can enjoy the sights and sounds of the falls from various viewpoints, with the most accessible vantage point being a nearby pullout along the Grand Loop Road. The area around Gibbon Falls is also home to diverse wildlife, making it a popular stop for nature enthusiasts and photographers alike. The combination of the falls’ beauty and the surrounding landscape reflects the natural splendor that Yellowstone is renowned for, offering a captivating experience to all who visit.

The Gibbon River, which feeds into the falls, originates from Grebe Lake and flows for 25 miles before merging with the Firehole River. Along its course, it passes through several other notable landmarks such as Norris Geyser Basin and Virginia Cascades. The river itself is a popular spot for fishing, with anglers often trying their luck at catching rainbow and brown trout in its clear waters.

Aside from its natural wonders, the area around Gibbon Falls also holds historical significance. The nearby Nez Perce Creek was named after an indigenous tribe who traveled through the region on their journey to escape persecution by US soldiers in 1877. This creek can be accessed via a short hike from the pullout, offering visitors a chance to learn about the area’s past while taking in the tranquil surroundings.

For those looking for a more active experience, there are also hiking trails that lead to various viewpoints of Gibbon Falls. The 0.5-mile round trip hike to Artist Point offers stunning views of the waterfall and its surrounding landscape. For a longer trek, visitors can take the Beryl Springs Trail, a 1.4-mile loop that offers scenic overlooks of both Gibbon Falls and Beryl Spring.

No matter how one chooses to experience Gibbon Falls, it is bound to leave a lasting impression on all who visit. Its combination of natural beauty, diverse wildlife, and rich history make it a must-see destination within Yellowstone National Park. So next time you find yourself in this iconic national park, be sure to make a stop at Gibbon Falls and witness its splendor for yourself.
