South Rim Trail

  • Address: Chittenden Bridge, off South Rim Dr., Canyon, Yellowstone National Park, WY | Map It

Fodor's Review:

Partly paved and fairly flat, this 4½-mi loop along the south rim of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone affords impressive views and photo opportunities of the canyon and falls of the Yellowstone River. It starts at Chittenden Bridge. Along the way you can take a break for a snack or a picnic, but you'll need to sit on the ground, as there are no picnic tables. Beyond Artist Point, the trail crosses a high plateau and meanders through high mountain meadows, where you're likely to see bison grazing.
