On this trail, you walk alongside more waterfalls, cascades, and rapids than on any other Yellowstone day hike! The hike takes place in a remote part of Yellowstone National Park, all the way down in the southwest corner, not too far from the Bechler Ranger Station, where law enforcement rangers patrol on horseback rather than in SUVs!

We'll drive through eastern Idaho to Cave Falls, on the Autumn River, where we will park and take a stroll to the bottom of Yellowstone's widest waterfall, before taking a trail alongside the Autumn River towards Bechler Falls. The scenery is really stunning as we make our way to the confluence of the Autumn and Bechler Rivers before cutting inland and climbing up an incline through a forest for a while. We'll pick up the Bechler River again and continue to Bechler Falls. After exploring and admiring the views, we'll return along the same trail. We'll enjoy a packed lunch along the way or back at Cave Falls.
