Terraced Falls is on the Falls River in the south-west corner of Yellowstone, closer to the South Entrance than to the Bechler Ranger Station. The trail begins at the Cascade Creek Trailhead on Grassy Lake Road. Follow the old dirt road about 1/4 mile to where the trail enters the park and take the left fork. Follow the signs north 1.4 miles along Cascade Creek and then the Falls River until the trail ends at Terraced Falls. Return the same way.
