This guided hike will take you along the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone south rim hiking trail, as it follows the Yellowstone River over two major waterfalls, and through the Grand Canyon itself, finishing at Artist Point. The views of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone from Artist Point are probably the best anywhere.
There are also great vistas of both the Upper Yellowstone Falls and the Lower Yellowstone Falls, as well, of course, as the canyon itself, plus the Yellowstone River.
Unlike its sister trail across the canyon, the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone north rim trail, the south rim trail does not have any major hills to climb.
The hike is about 1.75 miles (2.8 kilometres) long one way, and there are a number of ways we can tackle the return trip. You can stay at Artist Point while your guide walks back to fetch the vehicle; you and your guide can do the hike back along the rim; or you can walk back along the road to the vehicle, which is a lot quicker.
Please check out the videos we have on the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone south rim hike.
