🏞️ Attractions
Iris Falls is a waterfall on the Bechler River in Yellowstone National Park. Iris Falls is located just upstream from Colonnade Falls and is accessible via the Bechler River Trail. The falls were named in 1885 by members of the Arnold Hague Geological Survey for Iris, the mythological Greek goddess of the rainbow.

Les chutes Colonnade (en anglais : Colonnade Falls) sont un ensemble de deux cascades sur la rivière Bechler, juste en aval de Iris Falls dans le parc national de Yellowstone. Elles sont accessibles via le sentier de la rivière Bechler. Les chutes ont été nommées en 1885 par des membres du Arnold Hague Geological Survey, probablement parce qu'elles ressemblent à une rangée de colonnes à intervalle
