The waterfall is named for the towering rock spires that surround it, resembling castle turrets.

Tower Fall plunges 132 feet, making it one of the most picturesque waterfalls in Yellowstone National Park.

The waterfall was famously painted by Thomas Moran, whose work helped inspire the establishment of Yellowstone as the first national park.

The rock formations around Tower Fall are primarily composed of volcanic breccia, a type of rock formed from volcanic ash and debris.

A short trail leads from the parking area to a viewpoint where visitors can enjoy a stunning view of the waterfall.

The area around Tower Fall is home to diverse wildlife, including bison, elk, and occasionally bears.

The waterfall is located on Tower Creek, which flows into the Yellowstone River, one of the park's major waterways.
