A Field Guide To Wyoming’s Best Waterfalls

Yeah, it's been dry this year, but Wyoming still has some great waterfalls that you must see. Here are several ways to find them.

Wyoming has massive drops in national parks and simple, beautiful cascades. One of the biggest ones is the 308-foot Lower Yellowstone Falls, Grand Teton's Hidden Falls, Bighorn's Porcupine Falls, and local southeast favorites like Curt Gowdy State Park.

Casper, Wyoming, has a fall that comes down from Casper Mountain. Driving to it and walking in the rest of the way is easy.
