YELLOWSTONE FALLS : YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK 



_ Yellowstone Canyon has been called the cameo of canyons. Burton Holmes has de- 

 scribed it as "a mine of precious stones, uncovered to amaze and dazzle the sun itself." 

 Adown its rocky bottom flows the Yellowstone River, and, where it is grandest and most 

 beautiful, the river takes a leap twice as high as Niagara, making a marvelous veil of seeth- 

 ing, frenzy-lashed, white water — a spectacle which, with its setting and majestic roar, is one 

 of awe-inspiring majesty.
