Undine Falls

Undine Falls

Undine Falls is four miles east of Mammoth in Yellowstone NP.  It’s one of the the few waterfalls in Yellowstone visible from the roadway and accessible by a short hike.  The falls, along a section of Lava Creek, is approximately 60 feet in height, descending over two tiers of basaltic rock.  Undine received its present name in 1885 from geologist Arnold Hague. Undine was named for wise, female water spirits from German mythology who lived around waterfalls.
