Gibbon River and Falls

Written by Vacation Idea.com Travel Editors.

Along the main park road from Madison to Norris, Yellowstone park visitors can admire scenic views of Gibbon River and Gibbon Falls.

One can often spot bison and elk in this area. Sometimes a massive bison decides to walk on the main road, stopping traffic in both directions as excited tourists take pictures of the fabulous animal from the safety of their vehicles.

Bald eagles, osprey, sandhill cranes and coyotes are also often seen in the area. If you have time, there are several hiking trails. Visit the visitor station at Madison Junction for more information.

Gibbon River is a popular fishing spot, featuring wild rainbow trout and brown trout. The river below Gibbon Falls is restricted to fly fishing only.
