Twin Falls

Twin Falls is a pairing of waterfalls on two separate streams which drop into the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone River from opposite sides of the river facing each other. Both streams are spring fed, but very small in volume and as such both sets of falls are not terribly significant. The south side stream features a single cascading fall of about 165 feet in height, while the north side stream is a series of small falls and cascades which totals about 160 feet in height in a linear distance of perhaps a 300 foot run.This waterfall was actually named and mapped by P.W. Norris in (or around) 1880, and marked on maps which circulated for about six years and then fell into obscurity when it was omitted from further maps. It was not until the publication of The Guide to Yellowstone Waterfalls and Their Discovery in 2000 that the falls were re-discovered
