Yellowstone National Park
Wraith Falls

Wraith Falls is a cascade that sheets down a rock face that can be viewed from a platform after a short hike from the roadway. It's a nice place to stretch your legs and see Yellowstone country from a vantage other than your vehicle.

On the hike you will see a pretty meadow, cross a nice little stream, and climb a short set of stairs from where you can view the fall at the top. On the way down there are expansive views of the mountains and meadows of Yellowstone.
