Description
"Yours, O LORD, are the greatness, the power, the glory, the victory, and the majesty; for all that is in the heavens and on the earth is yours; yours is the kingdom, O LORD, and you are exalted as head above all." -1 Chronicles 29:11

The Lower Falls are way more impressive then the Upper Falls. The reason why it's so much taller is because the rock under the water is softer due to magma flowing deep below the surface. With the softer rock the falls erode faster.

This one is probably one of my favorite photos I got of the lower falls/the entire trip.

The Yellowstone River tumbles 308 feet, striking the canyon floor with such force that it sends foam and mist hundreds of feet upward, dampening the rocks so constantly that bright green moss grows high above the water. Lower Falls is twice the height of Niagara Falls. As the water races on and finally stops foaming, it looks green but, in reality, it is totally clear. The river's color is from algae and moss.
