Tower Fall
Tower Creek drops about 40 m between volcanic rock spires before joining the Yellowstone River. From the parking area it is a short walk to the viewpoint.
The falls lie about 3 km south of the Tower–Roosevelt junction. From the parking lot and general store, it is about a 5-minute walk to the viewpoint, where you can see the water falling between unusual stone pillars. The trail to the base of the falls has been closed for a long time due to a landslide. Columnar basalt on both sides of the Yellowstone River canyon can be seen from roadside viewpoints. Heading south across Dunraven Pass leads to Mount Washburn and Canyon Village.
