Crystal Falls is where Cascade Creek drops into the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone between the Upper and Lower Falls, in Yellowstone National Park. From Canyon Village, turn left out of the parking area, turn left at the stop sign at the four-way intersection, and drive 2 miles to the South Rim Drive sign. Turn left onto South Rim Drive and take the first left into the Upper Falls Viewpoints parking area. Walk east from the Upper Falls Viewpoints area on the South Rim Trail to see Crystal Falls on the far side of the canyon. Return the same way.
