Upper and Lower Undine Falls Trail Description

The Upper and Lower Undine Falls Trail is a gorgeous hike in Yellowstone National Park. It is common for hikers to encounter bison and elk on this trail. As with any hike in Yellowstone, you may encounter bears. Before you set out on your hike, make sure that everyone in your hiking party is familiar with bear safety protocols. At least one member of your group should carry bear spray and know how to use it properly. If you do encounter wild animals, do not approach or feed them and be sure to admire them from a safe distance.

Undine Falls themselves are stunning 60ft tall cascading waterfalls along the mighty Lava Creek. The best time to see the falls in action is in the springtime when the snowmelt swells the creek, but no matter what time of year you visit, the sight of these falls is sure to take your breath away.

Beginning at the Lava Creek Trailhead, follow the path on your left to hike westward along the north bank of Lava Creek. Follow the path for approximately 0.4mi to the Falls.

If you are looking for a shorter path, the falls can also be viewed from the Undine Falls Viewpoint just east of the Lava Creek Trailhead.
