it depends on which waterfall :-/
No, Yellowstone does not have a desert. It receives much too much precipitation each year to be classified as a desert.
It contains lots of water.

Yellowstone National Park is important because there is much to study there about the formation of volcanoes, the age of the earth, and different plants and animals. Yellowstone National Park is one of the few places in the United States that is pretty much the same as it was when settlers came to the West, except for the highways.
Yellowstone is the site of a very large volcano that is often referred to as a supervolcano. Much of what it erupts is rhyolite.

Yes. There are wolves in Yellow Stone National Park. In fact there a few different packs. See the Related Links for more information about the wolves of Yellowstone National Park.
No, not even close. Yellowstone N.P. has an area of 8,983 km⁲, compared to 243,610 km⁲ for the United Kingdom. You could fit Yellowstone into the UK 27 times with room to spare. Yellowstone is a little bit bigger than Puerto Rico, but smaller than Cyprus or Lebanon. Yellowstone is almost 3½ times as large as Luxembourg, but Belgium is more than 3 times as large as Yellowstone.
Yellowstone National Park sits on top of a volcano caldera, approximately 28x47 miles across, formed by a hot spot (a crack in the earth's crust which brings magma up to the surface), a result of the forming of the Rocky Mountains about 50 million years ago. Geysers are a result of groundwater which is being heated by the magma underground and then, when the heat and pressure are too great, explode in an amazing display of water and steam. About 53% of the world's geysers are located in Yellowstone National Park. Other thermal features in Yellowstone include fumeroles (mostly steam, little water), hot springs, and mudpots.
The Yellowstone caldera is a supervolcano located in Yellowstone National Park. While it is an active volcanic system, there is no current indication that it is about to erupt. The USGS monitors Yellowstone closely, and any signs of increased volcanic activity would be detected well in advance.
The cost is $25 per car with 4 adults in it (15+). Or you can get a pass to the national parks and such for a year which costs $80.
