The Lower Fall of the Yellowstone, which drops roughly 308 feet over a basalt cliff in the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, is the star of this view, with Point Lookout rising above it on the canyon rim. Images like this helped shape public understanding of Yellowstone in the late nineteenth century, when the region was still new to most Americans and its scenery was offered as evidence of the nation's natural wonders. The "Wonderland" series of stereo views, which this board groups together, was made to carry that sense of wonder into parlors across the country. Look closely at the canyon walls, which show the yellow and rust coloring that gives the river its name.
