Here the northern entrance arch and Minerva Terrace share one card, pairing a rough stone gateway with one of the park's most striking natural formations. The arch, built of local basalt and known today as the Roosevelt Arch, was dedicated in 1903 and marked the road into Yellowstone from Gardiner, Montana. Minerva Terrace, a cascade of white travertine built up by mineral-laden hot spring water, was among the sights visitors came to see at Mammoth Hot Springs, and the card shows how these two landmarks framed the park's entry for early travelers.
