Since I really needed to go, I drove 5min farther north to MHS' other bigger parking lot, and huzzah! Enough restrooms to go around for everyone! (X7FW+X7 Mammoth, WY). + And about the bullsnakes or gopher snakes fighting, I'm glad they were doing it on the thermal ground, not on the boardwalk. Don't bring your pets, and watch your kids.

It was fascinating to watch. I could do it all day long! We don't have waterfalls where I'm from so I guess that's why I was so amazed by it. It's not the largest waterfall inside of Yellowstone Park by any means. However, I was still amazed by it! The water looks crystal clear. Watching the waterfall is so peaceful and soothing. Tower Fall is located on Tower Creek in the northeastern part of Yellowstone National Park. The waterfall dumps out water from the Yellowstone River. The waterfall is 132 feet. It was named by Samuel Hauser, a member of the Washburn Party. (Tower Falls) circa 1870. The U.S. Geological Survey renamed it to Tower Fall in 1928. A painting by Thomas Moran persuaded Congress to designate Yellowstone National Park as the world's first national park in 1872. This is according to Wikipedia. Would I recommend this waterfall and national park? YES, without a doubt. I think everyone should visit Yellowstone National Park if they get the opportunity to do so. It's a beautiful experience you and your loved ones will cherish for many years to come.

It's a bunch of mineral deposits around hot springs that gurgle hot water and hiss steam. When we went, we saw a big heard of wild elk running through here. We got shouted at by the park rangers to get back in the car so we don't get gored or trampled. Too cool. There's scenic drives through the wildest of the hot springs which make for a scenic slow drive. There's plenty of places to pull off and take photos. Things can get crowded around here. There's lots of hiking through here as well, but it's not as accessible as the geyser basins. The best part of this is how it's largely accessible by car. There's some civilization around here as well, with a general store and restaurant, a hotel and a post office as well! Mammoth is a bit cut off from the rest of the park currently, due to the flooding that washed out the north entrance to the park.

Lookout Point is one of a few lookout spots you can stop at when you drive on North Rim Drive (a one-way drive). Just heads up, the parking lot isn't very large. If you continue on with your drive on North Rim Drive, you will eventually end up in Canyon Village. If you want to make an adventure of your stop here, I suggest hiking the North Rim Trail east to Inspiration Point and enjoy the beautiful views along the way. There is also a paved path and some wooden steps below that take you down to a viewing platform called Red Rock Point. This will give you a close full view of Lower Falls. Lookout Point was one of my favorite spots to stop at on the North Rim. I highly recommend checking it out.

You can go to the brink of the lower falls to see the top of the waterfall, but this lookout overlooks the entire thing which I think is better. Another underrated view is the red rocks view which is right next to this lookout point. Instead of going straight to the lookout you go down the stairs, walk a bit and then get to the red rocks view which is a bit closer to the waterfall and more eye-level. There are also fewer people here so you'll have more time to take nice pictures and videos without the crowds.
