The massive Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone is about 39 km (24 miles) long, between 240 and 370 m (800 and 1,200 ft) deep, and from 0.40 to 1.21 km (0.25 to 0.75 mi) wide. If you go to Artist Point, which provides an excellent view of the winding river and rock walls and gives a better sense of the canyon's size, you'll be able to view the area from about 50 m (160 ft) away. This may take you about half an hour, but the vistas you take in from the edge of observation point will remain with your for a lifetime.

The waterfall was awesome as well as the stream flowing between the rock formation walls. Beautiful place. Worth the effort.

Such an amazing view. I honestly thought it was nicer than the actual Grand Canyon. We only had a few hours in the park and was going to skip this, so glad we didn’t.
