S Rim Trail, Yellowstone National Park

The south rim trail is a great way to enjoy Yellowstone falls. The trail itself is not hard but there are some sections that are steep and have a descent elevation change to them. But nothing to hard for even the little hikers to handle. The trial also has some sections where there is no guard and you are right next to the cliff. So keep eagle eye on the dare devils. As you hike towards artist point you keep getting more and more glimpses of Yellowstone falls behind you. The trial is also far enough from the road you can hear the roar of the falls, the river below, and the sounds of nature around you. That ia if you can keep the kids from running back and forth on the trial :-) If doing the hike to and from artist point the hike back is just as enjoyable as you are moving towards the falls and hearing it getting louder and louder.

This is a great hike. It's not that long and the elevation changes aren't too bad great views of the river up close if you hop down on the trail above the upper falls.
