Lewis Falls, Waterfall at Lewis River in Yellowstone National Park, United States
The Lewis Falls cascade drops 30 feet over rocky surfaces, creating a natural water display visible from the main park road.
The waterfall received its name from Meriwether Lewis, who led the Lewis and Clark Expedition through western territories in the early 1800s.
Many photographers position themselves at designated viewpoints near the falls to capture the water flow against the forest background.
Located between the south entrance and Grant Village, the falls offer multiple parking areas for visitors to stop and observe the cascade.
The waterfall marks a significant point along the Lewis River, which flows through steep canyons before joining the Snake River system.
