*A note about Silver Cord Cascade:
The 1,200 foot tall Silver Cord Cascade really should have been named Silver THREAD Cascade. Surface Creek, in itself a tiny run - even when there is water in it - runs down the side of a canyon wall on its way to Yellowstone Canyon east of Canyon Village. We have had several inquiries about Silver Cord so we attempted to get information about it from the NPS people at Yellowstone. Responses from various people ranged from, "... never heard of it...", through, "we don't consider it a waterfall..." to one chap (possibly a ranger) who described it as, "... a part-time, skinny thread which, when viewed from across the canyon at the right time in the afternoon, shines like a brilliant silver thread." There is a trail which goes to Ribbon Lake from which one can get a more close-up view. Perhaps Silver Cord Cascade is best left to the almanacs as one of the tallest 'waterfalls' in the United States.
