The Lower Fall of the Yellowstone River drops roughly 308 feet into a deep gorge of colored volcanic rock, and the Grand Canyon that carries it is one of the park's defining sights. Views like this one helped persuade Americans that the region's scenery was worth protecting, a case that contributed to Yellowstone's designation as the first national park in 1872. The "Wonderland" series on this board belongs to the same era of landscape photography, when studio-made views of western wonders were sold widely to a public that had never seen them in person.
