Yellowstone got its name from the yellow banks of this beautiful canyon....never tire of this either.....

I wish it were so because the river would be more aptly named for these banks than the actual reason, from yellow sandstone bluffs far closer to the mouth of the river.

See History of Yellowstone as a Place Name for the actual history on how Yellowstone got its name.

Great picture! My favorite place in the park.

Absolutely breathtaking!! My laptop crashed and so I've been having no "favorites", etc. It's made my computer life boring! But, my son saved me and loaned me one of his laptops and I'm back in commission.
