点评:The Lower Falls of the Yellowstone River at 308 feet is the tallest waterfall in the park (nearly twice the height of the mighty Niagara Falls). It had rained for a few days before we arrived, and so the volume of water was tremendous, and the roaring sound was thunderous.
We did not hike to the “Brink” but only viewed it from the Lookout Point right across. This area is just a short distance from the parking lot. It was a nice vantage point to view the place at which the water enters the 1000-feet deep Canyon and makes its 20-mile trip amid forests and bright colorful rocks.
The gorgeous views, rock colors and greenery have made this waterfall the second-most photographed spots in Yellowstone (the first being Old Faithful Geyser).
We had several views of these Falls along our tour route. Those views and the photo ops have made us add this to our list of “Favorite Waterfalls”.
翻译:黄石河的下瀑布高达308英尺,是公园内最高的瀑布(其高度几乎是尼亚加拉大瀑布的两倍)。我们抵达前连续下了几天的雨,因此瀑布水量极为充沛,轰鸣声也震耳欲聋。
我们没有徒步前往“悬崖边缘”,只在对面的观景台上远眺而已。该观景台离停车场只有很短的步行距离。这里是个绝佳的观景点,可以俯瞰水流注入深达1000英尺的峡谷的过程,以及它如何在森林与色彩绚丽的岩石间奔腾流淌20英里。
壮丽的景色、多彩的岩石与郁郁葱葱的植被,使得这条瀑布成为黄石公园中拍照频率第二高的景点(第一名是老忠实间歇泉)。
在我们的游览路线上,有多个位置可以观赏到这条瀑布。这些绝美的景致以及绝佳的拍照机会,促使我们把它列入了“最喜爱的瀑布”名单。
