Wyoming
Moose FallsMoose Falls is a 30-foot plunge on Crawfish Creek just north of Yellowstone's South Entrance — one of the easiest falls to see in the park. A 75-yard walk from the roadside pullout drops to the base. Named in 1885 by the Arnold Hague Geologic Survey for the moose plentiful in the area. The Crawfish Creek water is geothermally heated from upstream hot springs, so swimming and wading are prohibited. Road closes seasonally in winter.
