Tower is another place with services in Yellowstone and it is the home of Tower Fall. This nice waterfall on Tower Creek drops 115 feet. It is named for the spires that surround it. There is a store with ice cream here. Also nearby at Roosevelt Junction you will find a lodge and other services.

Fantastic stop. Large parking lot at area of general store with walking path off to the side. Only 500 feet to the falls. Easy,easy walk. What a great treat for those who are not big hikers and want to see this beautiful fall. Recommend highly!

The falls are a short and fairly level walk from the parking lot. They are really nice. It had rained for most of two days so they had a lot of water. Really great.

A quick stop, a short hike, a 132 foot tall waterfall. The bison viewing in the area is popular. We caught our breath (at altitude) and moseyed along.

This waterfall is not like the Upper Falls or the Lower Falls however it is still a nice waterfall to see. The very short walk from the parking lot to the viewpoint is an easy five minute walk and accessible to all on a concrete path. Once you get to the end of the path there is definitely a good viewpoint to see the waterfall. This is a good stop for maybe 10 minutes as you drive by the area.

Along the drive to Tower Fall we had the pleasure of seeing a herd of Bighorn sheep. It's a great drive from canyon Village to the upper loop. A great chance to see lots of wildlife if you start early. We saw Bison, Elk, Bighorn Sheep and Deer.

This is a big waterfall, but unfortunately you are not able to see it very well. Trees have grown in the way and you are no longer able to go to the bottom of the waterfall to see it. So it is mostly not visible. Do not waste your time taking the longer trail to the bottom where the river is, as there isn't a lot to see, and you can not see the waterfall from there. We went down and were disappointed. Not worth the stop in my opinion.

There is ample parking here and an easy walk to view the waterfall. There is also a small store at the entrance if you need a pit stop. This is usually a nice, short stop.

Tower Fall is north of Canyon Village, along the upper loop of the Yellowstone Park. The fall is about 40 meters high and also part of the Yellowstone River System. The fall makes its way out of the rock, among the green trees, and it's very nice to watch.

These falls can be reached by walking a very short trail. Good for those who can't do much walking, but still like the trail experience.

Is Tower Falls accessible in July 2020 via hike? I understand the road is closed, but did they completely close it to all visitors?

Did you carry bear spray for this walk and on any other trails?. The USA National Parks site advises minimum group size of 3 in both Grand Tetons & Yellowstone & carry spray which we will acquire but there are only 2 of us. Will we need to await others to tag along with? We are in our 60s and have slowed down so doubt others will want to wait for us at a slower pace. There does not appear to be any reference on Tripadvisor regarding these safety matters.
We will be in the area in a hire car from 3 September until 15th staying at Teton Village, Gardiner & West Yellowstone.
Any advice welcomed.

I agree with above. Tower Falls is viewed from afar at a nice well designed walk to view. We are also in our 60s and did a lot of hiking on our own without the bear spray however it was July NOT September. The trails are very popular with hikers and we were being passed in both directions most of the time...maybe the animals are more active in Sept.? I would either rent the spray or be sure to hike mid day with others around. In July we were out and about by 6:30 am and going places till about 3 or 4. SO MUCH to see! No other place is like Yellowstone! enjoy!

I visited Tower Falls in 1977, and at that time, there was a latge boulder sitting right in the middle of the lip of the falls. At the time, it was said that the boulder could fall at any time and had already been there a long time, or it might not fall for over a hundred years. I would like to know if the boulder is still there, or has it gone over the falls?

There is a large-ish boulder at the lip, and the water pours around it. I don't know if it's the same boulder you saw, and I can't put a picture here. But there are other photos posted in September 2016 by TripAdvisor folks that show the lip of the falls.
