This view shows a river bending through a broad green valley, with dark pines climbing the slopes and mountains rising behind them. Scenes like this one are typical of Yellowstone, where the Yellowstone River and its tributaries wind through meadows and forest on their way toward the park's canyons and lakes. Yellowstone became the first national park in 1872, and its wide, lightly developed valleys have long drawn painters and photographers. Carol Highsmith, who has photographed American landmarks and landscapes for decades, captured the park's scenery with an emphasis on its open ground and the way water shapes the land.
