Wyoming is filled with an abundance of beauty created by nature, some which occur as a natural phenomenon. One of these spots in Wyoming is the Yellowstone Falls. Here, the landscape is majestic, powerful and utterly breathtaking. It’s also the one spot in Wyoming where you can see some of the most beautiful rainbows.
All that’s needed to create one of the most beautiful things on earth are 2 basic elements: sunlight and water.
