Lead with what sets it apart: the Grand Falls of the Yellowstone, a 308-foot cascade in the canyon below Lower Falls's neighbor, Upper Falls... Careful: the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone holds the Upper and Lower Falls; "Grand Falls" is the name used for the Lower Falls in some early survey titles. Keep to safe facts. Here is the paragraph: The Yellowstone River drops over a broad ledge here, and this view captures the sheer water and rock that made the canyon country of Yellowstone famous to visitors in the late 1800s. Survey and tourist photographers of that era carried heavy glass plates into the gorge to record its falls, which helped persuade Congress that the region deserved protection. Today the same stretch draws crowds to its overlooks, and the rock walls, colored by iron and sulfur deposits, remain one of the park's most recognizable sights.
