Indescribably Beautiful!
You can see why the painting of this waterfall/canyon helped create Yellowstone NP. Words really can't describe all that you can feast your eyes on here. It's just a very short walk to the viewpoint from the parking lot (which was easily reached during a September off-season visit but is probably much more crowded earlier in the summer). During our time there visitors were easily able to remain COVID-distanced and still get their photos. This is one place where you might just kick yourself for not bringing a tripod. You'll understand... A nice view of the downriver canyon area is also just a quick walk from the point and there's also a path to a lake (about a mile's hike) available from the parking lot.

Catch a Rainbow
Being there in the morning provides you the opportunity to see the sun cast a gorgeous rainbow across the magnificent waterfall at Artist's Point. Another natural wonder area in Yellowstone National Park. It's peaceful, serene and a site you wish you could behold for the entire day.

Great views ; easy access
We were here in the third week of October 2022. It’s just a short walk to the lookout point where the artist point is located and you can see parts of the Yellowstone Grand Canyon. There were two painters that were doing their artwork painting the landscape of the Lower Falls while we were there. In addition to seeing the Lower Falls you can also see the many colors of the canyon walls.
