Artist Point

Many, many people are always there. You will have to stalk the parking lots and look for people getting into their car and ask them if they are leaving. The walks to the lookout are very clean and well maintained. The lookouts are impressive. The depth is amazing, the colors are strange, rock formations alien, amount of water boggling. And there are 2 waterfalls, not just one. We also saw two Bison walking the roads as we drove there. There are multiple viewing sites, so you have to drive around, or you can walk the trails and stairs if you're able.

Artist Point at Yellowstone's canyon is a truly breathtaking natural wonder that lives up to its "postcard photograph" reputation. This is a stunning, awe-inspiring piece of nature that is well worth the visit, despite the crowds. The depth is simply amazing, with strange colors and alien-like rock formations that make for a visual feast. There are multiple viewpoints to explore, which can be accessed by walking the clean, well-maintained trails and stairs or by driving to different parking areas.Be prepared for a very popular destination; the parking lots can be full, so arriving early in the morning is highly recommended. Not only will you beat the traffic and find a more peaceful experience, but you'll also catch the canyon in a stunning golden light as the sun rises, providing incredible opportunities for photography.The Lower Falls is a particularly impressive sight, and it’s noted that there are actually two waterfalls in the area to discover. From the short, easy walk to the viewpoint, you can take in the breathtaking views, and even spot steam vents emerging from the canyon walls. Bird watchers will also find plenty of avian activity to enjoy. This location is every bit as inspiring as the more famous Old Faithful, without the long wait for the next "show."

Artist point is at the eastern end of the South Rim drive with the biggest parking lot along the Canyon. However, don't think you'll find your spot easily. From the parking lot, it's just an easy 5 min walk to one of the most spectacular views - you see the entire canyon all the way to the western end where're the Lower Falls
