Liste der Wasserfälle im Yellowstone-Nationalpark

Die sortierbare Liste von Wasserfällen im Yellowstone-Nationalpark führt namentlich bekannte Wasserfälle im Weltnaturerbe Yellowstone in den US-Bundesstaaten Wyoming, Montana und Idaho mit einer Höhe von mindestens 5 m. Sie erhebt keinen Anspruch auf Vollständigkeit.

Dunanda Falls

Zu den bekanntesten Wasserfällen des Yellowstone-Nationalparks gehören die Lower Falls und die Upper Falls im Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone sowie der Tower Fall bei der Einmündung des Tower Creek in den Yellowstone River. Insgesamt befinden sich mehr als 290 bekannte Wasserfälle im Nationalpark, ein Großteil davon in den Einzugsgebieten von Bechler River und Fall River im abgelegenen Südwesten des Parks, der auch als Cascade Corner bekannt ist.

Der höchste Wasserfall im Yellowstone-Nationalpark ist die Silver Cord Cascade im Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone mit einer Höhe von rund 370 m. Diese Höhe wird allerdings über mehrere Stufen erreicht. Die Lower Falls des Yellowstone River sind mit einer Höhe von 94 m der höchste freifallende Wasserfall im Park und sind damit fast doppelt so hoch wie die Niagarafälle.
