About this postcard

Gibbon Falls drops about 84 feet over a broken ledge of dark rock in Gibbon Canyon, with reddish-brown cliffs and pines around the plunge pool and boulders in the foreground. The falls sit between Norris Geyser Basin and Madison Junction on the Grand Loop Road, one of the main stops on Yellowstone's loop drive. The caption credits the name to General John Gibbon, an early explorer of the canyon.
