Introduction
Kepler Cascades is an elegant three-tier waterfall in Yellowstone's Upper Geyser Basin section, dropping about 150 feet as Kepler Creek cascades down cliff faces. Named after 19th-century German astronomer Johannes Kepler, though less grand than Yellowstone's Upper Falls, it is beloved for its delicate beauty and easy accessibility. The falls descend in three stages: the top widest like a curtain, the middle most turbulent raising white mist, the bottom pooling in a jade-green creek. The viewing platform is roadside, requiring no hiking to enjoy the roaring water and moss-dotted green cliffs up close. Spring snowmelt brings the most powerful flow, while autumn reduces volume but adds golden foliage, creating with gray rocks and emerald pools a rare Yellowstone autumn scene.
