Parent Collection:
William M. McCarthy Photograph Collection
Date:
1923
Subject:
Upper Yellowstone Falls, Yellowstone National Park
Description:
No caption. c. 1923. As the Yellowstone River flows north from Yellowstone Lake it passes over two waterfalls (Upper and Lower Yellowstone Falls) before reaching the Yellowstone Grand Canyon. This photograph shows the Upper Yellowstone Falls, 109 feet in height, as seen from a nearby peak. One arch of the Chittenden Bridge can be seen crossing the Yellowstone River upstream of the falls (in the upper center of the photograph). Built in 1903, this Melan arch bridge stood until the 1960s, when it was torn down in favor of a new, more modern structure.
