The caption places this view at Shoshone Canyon in Yellowstone, though the record notes that its details are unverified and come from an old caption card, so the location is worth confirming. The print is credited to J.E. Haynes of St. Paul, whose studio sold many views of the park to tourists in the early twentieth century. Its place on a board devoted to buildings, bridges and roads suggests it was valued for the routes and structures that helped visitors reach the park's more remote scenery around 1917.
