About this postcard

The card pictures Bridal Veil Falls in Yosemite Valley, California, with the waterfall dropping from a granite cliff above a forested valley and a stream in the foreground. Bridalveil Fall is one of Yosemite's iconic waterfalls, and the caption's "Road of a Thousand Wonders" was a Southern Pacific Railroad promotional slogan for its California route.
