Silver Cord Cascade, Multi-tier waterfall in Yellowstone National Park, United States
Silver Cord Cascade consists of four distinct drops with a total height of 520 feet, falling along Surface Creek into the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone.
The Washburn-Langford-Doane Expedition first documented this waterfall in 1870, initially naming it Silverthread Falls before its current designation in 1885.
The waterfall earned its name from the Arnold Hague Geological Survey, reflecting the appearance of water streaming down multiple tiers of rock formations.
Visitors can reach the waterfall viewpoint through the Seven Mile Hole Trail, starting at the Glacial Boulder Trailhead near Canyon Village.
This waterfall maintains a continuous flow from Ribbon Lake, creating four separate cascades that form a connected sequence down the canyon wall.
