About this postcard

Doughnut Falls drops through a notch in reddish-brown ledges in Big Cottonwood Canyon, breaking into white cascades over tumbled boulders before pooling below. Conifers and leafy trees crowd the top of the rock wall under a clear sky, with a few small blossoms in the sandy foreground. The caption places the scene in the Wasatch National Forest, Utah, and the printed text describes the forest's canyons east of Salt Lake City as both a watershed for the city and an accessible recreation ground.
