Tower Fall, Waterfall in Yellowstone National Park, United States
Tower Fall cascades 132 feet down Tower Creek, surrounded by volcanic stone columns that resemble sharp teeth near the Yellowstone River.
William Henry Jackson photographed Tower Fall in 1871, contributing to the establishment of Yellowstone as the first national park in 1872.
Lieutenant Gustavus Doane documented the fall in his 1871 report, describing the descent and rock formations that shaped the natural landscape.
Visitors can access the observation point through a paved path located 100 yards from the parking area, 2.2 miles south of Tower-Roosevelt Junction.
The rock spires around Tower Fall formed when lava cooled and cracked, creating vertical formations that give the waterfall its name.
