Discover the Majestic Tower Fall in Yellowstone National Park

Getting There

• Car

  If you are driving from the Mammoth Hot Springs area, head southeast on Grand Loop Road (also known as the North and South Entrance Road). Continue for approximately 21 miles. You will pass through the beautiful Tower-Roosevelt area. Look for signs indicating Tower Fall, as it is well-marked. Once you reach the Tower Fall parking area, you can park your vehicle here. There is no additional fee for parking, but a valid park entrance pass is required.

• Car

  From the Canyon Village area, take the South Rim Drive heading northeast. After about 12 miles, merge onto Grand Loop Road and continue northwest for approximately 5 miles until you see the Tower Fall signs. Follow the signs to the Tower Fall parking area. As with the previous route, ensure you have a valid park entrance pass to avoid any fees.

• Public Transportation (Shuttle Bus)

  If you are using the park's shuttle system, look for the shuttle that runs between Canyon Village and Tower Fall during the summer months. The shuttle schedule may vary, so check the latest information at visitor centers or online. The shuttle service is free with a valid park entrance pass, and it will drop you off at the Tower Fall parking area.

• Hiking

  For those looking for a more adventurous route, consider taking a hike from the nearby Tower Fall trailhead. The hike to the falls is about 0.5 miles one way and is considered easy to moderate in difficulty. Follow the marked trail down to the viewpoint for a stunning view of the waterfall. Ensure you wear appropriate hiking footwear and carry water.
