Great Falls of the Yellowstone River, which drops roughly 308 feet over a basalt rim in the park's southern reach, is the subject here, and the pairing with geysers in the title points to how early visitors often combined the two on a single tour. Yellowstone became the first national park in 1872, and by the time images like this circulated, its waterfalls and thermal features had become the core attractions drawing tourists by rail and stagecoach. Pictures from this period helped persuade a skeptical public that the region's wonders were worth preserving.
