An excellent hiking trail if you want to experience the magnificent views of the canyon. The trail’s got a mix of different terrains like grasslands, geyser areas, mountains, river bank. Recommend to go counterclockwise if you want to finish the trail with the canyon views. The trail hits all major viewpoints like artist’s point, lower falls etc which can be accessed through cars as well. Parking...

Awesome trailhead with a lot of options. We looped around the canyon and back to the parking lot via this trail. 3 or 4 miles round trip. Epic little hike full of canyon and waterfall views, geysers, lakes and rolling green hills full of bison. Amazing.

It was a great loop that connected with the south rim. Relatively easy, great views, from waterfalls to plateaus and some hot springs thrown in to the mix.

Highly recommend going from the parking to the falls, clear lake and then heading back to the parking. Lots of great views!
