Creek stomp through Lower falls, rappel second falls (optional single pitch), continue down to Yellowstone Falls (mandatory rappel 2 pitches), continue to skinny dip falls and exit to trail.
Second falls is around 75ft, taking river right, anchoring off of a boulder and landing just at the base of the pool.
Yellowstone Falls was done in 2 pitches, both around 150 ft, anchoring off of trees. First pitch was set off a tree river right, but we went straight through the middle and ended up river left as that was much safer than trying to cross the creek off rope at the end of the pitch. Second pitch we stayed river left, anchoring of a tree and keeping out of the water.
You can set a put in vehicle at graveyard fields and a takeout on Bridges camp gap, or you can take the MTS trail back to graveyard fields.
We chose the hike but looking back I would recommend just setting a shuttle if possible. It will save you time and energy no doubt.
I would rate this location as beginner/intermediate.
