About this postcard

The picture shows Gibbon Falls, where the Gibbon River drops about 84 feet over a broken, blocky ledge of dark rock flanked by reddish-brown cliffs and pines, with the plunge pool and boulders in the foreground. The falls lie between Norris and Madison junctions in Yellowstone National Park, near Gibbon Meadows, and tumble over the rim of the Yellowstone Caldera.
