HOODOO ROCKS, SILVER GATE AND GARDINER RIVER BRIDGE: Passing the terraces climbing to Golden Gate we reach and pass the Hoodoo Rocks, so-called. They form a strange and chaotic spectacle of limestone or calcareous formation standing inclined at all imaginable angles and the road winds through the heart of the mass. For nearly the entire distance to Mammoth Hot Springs-five miles--the route lies along the roaring, foaming Gardiner River, with Eagle Nest Crag towering above it. OLD FAITHFUL GEYSER PLAYING: Without any doubt the most wonderfully perfect representation of one of nature's strangest phenomena ever secured. "Old Faithful" has been alike the admiration and despair of photographers. Modern science and enterprise have now for the first time been successful in reproducing the spectacle in all its grandeur and originality. MAMMOTH PAINT POTS, FIRE HOLE BASIN AND RIVERSIDE GEYSER: Reaching the Lower Geyser Basin, we find a medley of pools, springs and geysers that call for study and admiration, the variety of color, of form, and of character to be seen among these beautiful expressions of nature being most wonderful, The "Paint Pots," so called, are objects of intense interest to the tourist and have been fairly nicknamed as "nature's mush pools," a strange, weird, boiling, plopping cauldron of beautifully colored clay that holds the onlooker with a peculiar fascination. We also show Riverside Geyser playing 100 feet in the air and one of the most beautiful of the wonderful group of geysers scattered along both sides of the Fire Hole River. DENIZENS OF YELLOWSTONE PARK (FISH, BUFFALO, ELK): Yellowstone Park is a paradise of wild animals and our picture shows one of the few, if not the only, herd of buffalo remaining on earth which roam through Yellowstone Park as unrestricted as they once roamed the boundless prairies of the west. It is the elk, however, that throng the park in countless numbers, and our picture shows a herd of these beautiful animals in the corral, next some of their number running and frightened at the appearance of the "camera man," flying over the surrounding fences with the utmost grace and agility. Finally one of the tamest of the herd follows a park warden and trustfully licks off some salt from his hand, advancing directly in front of the camera for the purpose. GRAND CANON AND FALLS: In viewing this greatest production of what we must consider one of the scenic wonders of nature we approach the Grand Canon of the Yellowstone. In magnitude there are greater canons, but none which surpass this in wonder and beauty. It is all told about twenty (20) miles long, 1,200 feet deep and 2,000 feet wide and abounds in profound sculpture and transcendent and glorified color and chiseling in which it has no equal. Every tower, buttress, recess, cliff, rampart and wall is shown and at the bottom is seen the magnificent river tearing over its rocky bottom. The Falls of the Yellowstone River rank first among the great mountain cataracts and our artist was fortunate to obtain two very perfect views. Written by Selig Catalog (1907) See less
