Artist Point
- Address: East end of South Rim Rd., Canyon, Yellowstone National Park, WY | Map It
- Category: Viewpoints
- Location: Canyon
Fodor's Review:
The most spectacular view of the Lower Falls of the Yellowstone River is seen from this point, which has two different viewing levels, one of which is accessible to wheelchairs. The South Rim Trail goes right past this point, and there is a nearby parking area open in both summer and winter.

Picture Perfect!
Posted by swisshiker from Texas on 11/3/08
This is the spectacular view you see on many calendars, postcards, and travel brochures. Old Faithful Geyser may bring visitors to the park, but the view from Artist Point is what draws me back year after year in late September.
As a photographer, I find the mid-morning sun best for capturing that perfect shot of the waterfall and canyon.
However, be sure to return in the afternoon to see the downriver side, with the glorious pink and coral hues lit by the setting sun. You will be rewarded with a great view from the short unpaved trail.
