About

Artist Point is a breathtaking overlook located on the south rim of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming. Renowned for its stunning panoramic views, the point offers visitors an unrivaled perspective of the dramatic canyon walls and the thundering Lower Falls of the Yellowstone River, which plunges 308 feet into the canyon below. The vantage point is named "Artist Point" due to its inspirational scenery, which has been a favorite subject for artists and photographers for generations. The vibrant colors of the canyon, ranging from yellows and reds to pinks and oranges, are a result of geothermal activity that has altered the rock over millennia.
