Crystal Falls (Yellowstone, near Canyon Village) is a photogenic 100–120 ft cascade on the Yellowstone River framed by basalt cliffs and sculpted river rocks. Shoot long exposures to render silky water and capture the river’s leading lines; best light is low sun on the canyon walls at sunrise or late afternoon. Accessible via a short trail from a small parking area near Canyon Village—Yellowstone park entry fees apply; seasonal snow/ice can make viewpoints slippery. Weekdays and shoulder seasons
