The view shows the Great Falls of the Yellowstone River, now commonly called the Lower Falls, dropping into the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. Reddish-brown rock walls and pine trees line the rim, and the river continues through the canyon below. Yellowstone was established as the first national park in 1872, and by 1910 the falls were a familiar stop for visitors touring the park by rail and stage.
