Wraith Falls Trail is a short and easy 0.3-mile hike that runs through a beautiful sagebrush meadow along a small stream and through a small stand of Douglas fir. It crosses Lupine Creek before reaching the viewing platform about 200 feet from the base of Wraith Falls, a scenic cascade on Lupine Creek. This 100-foot cascade flows rapidly over the edge of Blacktail Deer Plateau in the northwest part of Yellowstone National Park. The best view of the water falling down the steep, smooth rock face is from the end of the trail. The trailhead can be found about 5 miles from Mammoth Hot Springs on the Grand Loop Road.
