Steam rising from several geysers across the Yellowstone basin, with a row of rustic cabins and dark pines in the foreground, makes this view feel more like a settlement at the edge of wilderness than a pure scenic study. Yellowstone became the first national park in the United States in 1872, and early visitors came to see its thermal features, which were then reached by stagecoach and on foot. Images like this helped convince a wider public that the area's geysers and hot springs were worth protecting. The cabins hint at the lodging that grew up near the basin to serve those tourists.
