Hike The Grand Canyon Of The Yellowstone South Rim Trail: Virtual Yellowstone Tour!

Описание: You can either hike this trail on your own, or take an escorted hike with our company, which can be ordered at http://www.yellowstonedayhikes.com.

The South Rim of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone hike, along with its north rim counterpart across the Yellowstone River (   • Slip Sliding The North Rim Trail Hike At G...  ), is one of the more beautiful, shorter, trails in all of Yellowstone! Think about it. You follow a major river through a stunning canyon, past two waterfalls, while meandering through a forest, and ending up at a place called Artist Point!

This is one of several virtual Yellowstone tours in our channel which focus on the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. Others include the North Rim Trail hike, the North Rim drive, the Brink of the Upper Falls, the Brink of the Lower Falls, and Artist Point itself.

Most people start the Yellowstone south rim trail hike from the parking lot at Uncle Tom's Trail, but I prefer a longer version, which begins at the Chittenden Bridge - the bridge over the Yellowstone River - that leads you to Uncle Tom's as well as Artist Point. There is parking available a very short way up the road, at the Wapiti Lake trailhead parking lot.

The trail does go past the branch off to Uncle Tom's Trail, which you can do on this hike, or as a separate adventure some other time on your Yellowstone trip.

The South Rim Trail is a there and back trail, and not a round trip loop. If you'd like to do the actual hike just one way, you can always walk back along the road to the Wapiti Lake trailhead parking lot, which is a lot quicker.
