Golden Gate from the Upper End, Yellowstone National Park, 1901-1902
Add to SetSummary
Yellowstone National Park, established 1872, was America's first national park. Near the north entrance on the Grand Loop Road, the so-called "Golden Gate" is a pass that marks the north edge of Yellowstone Plateau. The highway bridge is pinned to cliffs made of crumbly volcanic yellow tuff--hence the name.
