Fantastic side attraction, just stumbled upon it while leaving Yellowstone. When I come back in the springtime, I'll definitely stop here again. Wish I had time to just sit back and enjoy this a bit longer, but we had somewhere to be, 650 mile away.

Amazing Falls not far off Beartooth Highway. You can walk to these falls in only a few minutes from the parking lot of Crazy Creek Falls Trail. The trailhead is right across the road from Crazy Creek campground. Bear spray is a recommendation. The trail keeps going to other great spots and lakes, etc.
