Description

Beautiful isn't it?

I read an article which indicated this is the second most photographed spot in Yellowstone.

It is, of course, the Lower Falls, envisaged from the North Rim of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. There are more famous and larger falls in the United States (see Niagara Falls), and a far more famous Grand Canyon. There are more colorful locations within Yellowstone (see Grand Prismatic Spring), and more popular (see Old Faithful Geyser). And yet, there is magnificence; if you had only seen this spot in your travels to Yellowstone, you would come away in awe.

In 1870, an expedition led by Henry Washburn, Surveyor-General of Montana, toured the area that would 2-years later become Yellowstone National Park. Nathaniel Pitt Langford, a member of the expedition, wrote of his experience a few hundred yards from this view, "The place where I obtained the best and most terrible view of the canyon was a narrow projecting point situated two to three miles below the lower fall. Standing there or rather lying there for greater safety, I thought how utterly impossible it would be to describe to another the sensations inspired by such a presence. As I took in the scene, I realized my own littleness, my helplessness, my dread exposure to destruction, my inability to cope with or even comprehend the might architecture of nature."

Visit Yellowstone. See for yourself.
