WANT TO SEE A RAINBOW?

MESA FALLS

 About 50 miles from West Yellowstone you will find Mesa Falls Recreation Area. This makes for a very nice day trip when you are in our area. Why not get a picnic lunch and make the drive out to see the spectacular falls.

The fees for the area are vehicles $5.00 a day. Motorcycles, bicycles, horses and hikers are $1 a day. The Lodge at Mesa Falls is scheduled to open by May 18. The closest town to Mesa Falls is Ashton, Idaho. This recreation area is operated by the Forest Service.

Pictured above is the small rainbow that is created when sunlight passes through the mist from the falls. The rainbow is normally present from 9 AM to 1 PM during the day. Of course, I cannot guarantee you that you will see this rainbow but your chances are exceptionally good at this location.

You can have a relaxing day at Mesa Falls simply enjoying the falls or watching the Osprey and Eagles that are frequently in the area or just strolling along the walkways and drinking in the scenery.

Take a day out from touring the National Park and make the drive to Mesa Falls, you will not be sorry.
