"Grand Canyon from Artist Point, Yellowstone National Park," 1935 Postcard
01
Artifact Overview
Yellowstone National Park, established 1872, was America's first national park. As the Yellowstone River flows north from Yellowstone Lake, it takes two great plunges into a deep canyon: over the Upper Falls and, a quarter mile downstream, over the Lower Falls. The view of Lower Falls from Artist Point is considered one of the climatic sites in Yellowstone National Park.
