You ll want to spend a couple of hours here. There are several viewpoints of both the Upper and Lower Yellowstone Falls , all of which are worth seeing. One viewpoint that many tourists miss is Artist Point . Don t pass this one up. It s breathtaking.
Canyon also has all tourist facilities, including restaurants, snack bars, a grocery store, etc.
This is a good place for lunch. Leave Canyon and head west toward Norris . By taking this route you ll miss a couple of interesting spots toward Yellowstone Lake , but the one-day visitor needs to see Yellowstone s geyser basins, which are southwest of Canyon. At Norris , turn south toward Old Faithful . When you get to Madison, continue south.
