Directions
The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone lies inside Yellowstone National Park, not in Livingston, though Livingston is a starting point for a visit. The Yellowstone River carved the canyon through volcanic rock, exposing walls colored by minerals and past hydrothermal activity. Its most prominent features include the Upper and Lower Falls, which have drawn visitors and artists for generations. In 1871, William Henry Jackson’s photographs and Thomas Moran’s paintings of Yellowstone scenery helped build support for protecting the area. Yellowstone became the world’s first national park in 1872. Today, viewpoints along both rims reveal how the river, waterfalls, and vividly colored canyon together shaped one of the park’s most recognizable landscapes.
