NIAGARA FALLS
Niagara Falls is the collective name for three waterfalls that straddle the international border between the Canada and the USA. Niagara Falls were formed when glaciers receded at the end of the Wiscon-sin glaciation (the last ice age), and water from the newly formed Great Lakes carved a path through the Niagara Escarpment en route to the Atlantic Ocean. While not exceptionally high, the Niagara Falls are very wide. More than six million cubic feet (168,000 m³) of water falls over the crest line every minute in high flow,and almost four million cubic feet (110,000 m³) on average.

GENESEE RIVER
The Genesee River is flowing northward through the Twin Tiers of Pennsylvania and New York.
The river provided the original po-wer for the Rochester area‘s 19th century mills and still provides hy-droelectric power for downtown Rochester. He is 235 km long and ends into the Ontario lake.
The river was named by the Seneca, formerly a tribe of Indians living in the area, as the „river of many falls.“ Its current name comes from the Iroquois word meaning „beautiful valley“.

WASHINGTON D.C.
Washington, D.C., formally the District of Columbia and com-monly referred to as Washington, „the District“, or simply D.C., is the capital of the United States. On July 16, 1790, the Residence Act approved the creation of a capital district located along the Potomac River on the country‘s East Coast. As permitted by the U.S. Cons-titution, the District is under the exclusive jurisdiction of the United States Congress and is therefore not a part of any U.S. state. The centers of all three branches of the federal government of the United States are in the District, including the Congress, President, and Su-preme Court.

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK
It was established by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by President Ulysses S. Grant in 1872.
Yellowstone, widely held to be the first national park in the world, is known for its wildlife and its many geothermal features, especially Old Faithful Geyser, one of the most popular features in the park.
It has many types of ecosystems, but the subalpine forest is domi-nant. Half of the world‘s geothermal fea-tures are in Yellowstone, fueled by this ongoing volcanism.

OLD FAITHFUL INN
With its spectacular log and limb lobby and massive (500-ton, 85-foot) stone fireplace, the Inn is a prime example of the „Golden Age“ of rustic resort architecture, a style which is also known as Nati-onal Park Service Rustic.
It is also unique in that it is one of the few log hotels still standing in the United States.
It was the first of the great park lod-ges of the American west.
The initial construction was carried out over the winter of 1903-1904 and first opened in the spring of 1904.
72
OLD FAITHFUL GEYSER
Old Faithful was named in 1870 during the Washburn-Lang-ford-Doane Expedition and was the first geyser in the park to recei-ve a name.
It is also called the most predicta-ble geographical feature on Earth erupting almost every 91 minutes.
Over the years, the length of the interval has increased, which may be the result of earthquakes affec-ting subterranean water levels.
Eruptions can shoot water to a height of 106 to 185 feet (32 to 56 m) lasting from 1.5 to 5 minutes.
73
GRAND GEYSER
Grand‘s fountain reaches a height of as much as 61 m, with a durati-on of 9 to 12 minutes.
Its eruptions occur in a series of 1 to 4 bursts. Grand erupts every 7 to 15 hours.
It belongs to the Grand Gey-ser Complex, and its eruption is connected to those of the other geysers in the group, especially the adjacent Vent Geyser and Tur-ban Geyser.
It is the tallest predictable geyser known. Upon the finish of an eruption, Grand‘s pool is empty and takes about five hours to refill.

GRAND PRISMATIC SPRING
The Grand Prismatic Spring is the largest hot spring in the United States, and the third largest in the world.Grand Prismatic Spring was noted by geologists working in the Hay-den Geological Survey of 1871, and named by them for its striking coloration.
Its colors include blue, green, yel-low, orange, gold, red and brown, and recall the rainbow disperson of white light by an optical prism.The vivid colors in the spring are the result of pigmented bacteria in the microbial mats that grow around the edges of the mine-ral-rich water.
77
SCENIC CRUISE
The boat departs Bridge Bay Ma-rina and heads out and around Stevenson Island before returning. While on the water, passengers are treated to the history of the area while watching for eagles, ospreys, and shoreline wanderers such as waterfowl, and occasio-nally elk and bison.
Yellowstone Lake can seem like a sheet of glass laid to the horizon at one moment and just a half-hour later be a roiling ocean of whi-tecaps and wind-whipped waves.
78
BLACK SAND BASIN
Named for its black sand (obsi-dian) which is formed when lava cools too quickly.
Obsidian is the natural form of glass. This rare obsidian sand covers much of the Black Sand Basin, which is located within the Upper Geyser Basin of Yellowsto-ne National Park.
Jewel-like geysers and beauti-ful hot springs show vivid colors, which are the main attraction of the area.

THE GRAND CANYON OF THE YELLOWSTONE
The Grand Canyon of the Yellows-tone is the primary geologic fea-ture in the Canyon District.
It is roughly 20 miles long, mea-sured from the Upper Falls to the Tower Fall area.
Depth is 800 to 1,200 ft.; width is 1,500 to 4,000 ft.
The canyon as we know it today is a very recent geologic feature. The present canyon is no more than 10,000 to 14,000 years old, al-though there has probably been a canyon in this location for a much longer period.
86
UPPER FALLS
The falls are erosional features for-med by the Yellowstone River as it flows over progressively softer, less resistant rock.
The Upper Falls is upstream of the Lower Falls and is 109 ft. high. It can be seen from the Brink of the Upper Falls Trail and from Uncle Tom‘s Trail.
A third falls can be found in the canyon between the Upper and Lower falls.
Crystal Falls is the outfall of Casca-de Creek into the canyon. It can be seen from the South Rim Trail just east of the Uncle Tom‘s area.
87
LOWER FALLS
The Lower Falls is 308 ft. high and can be seen from Lookout Point, Red Rock Point, Artist Point, Brink of the Lower Falls Trail, and from various points on the South Rim Trail.
The Lower Falls is often described as being more than twice the size of Niagara, although this only re-fers to its height and not the volu-me of water flowing over it.
The volume of water flowing over the falls can vary from 63,500 gal/sec at peak runoff to 5,000 gal/sec in the fall.
88
HAYDEN VALLEY
Hayden Valley is one of the best places in the park to view a wide variety of wildlife.
It is an excellent place to look for grizzly bears, particularly in the spring and early summer when they may be preying upon new-born bison and elk calves.
Large herds of bison may be vie-wed in the spring, early summer, and during the fall rut, which usual-ly begins late July to early August.Coyotes can almost always be seen in the valley. The valley is also an excellent place to look for bald eagles and northern harriers.

91
UNCLE TOM‘S TRAIL
Uncle Tom‘s Trail is a steep stair-way descent from the south rim of the Grand Canyon of the Yellows-tone to a viewpoint near the base of the Lower Yellowstone Falls in Yellowstone National Park.
The trail was constructed in 1898 by park concessionaire, „Uncle Tom“ H. F. Henderson when the Department of the Interior granted Henderson a permit to operate a ferry across the Yellowstone River.

MAMMOT HOT SPRINGS
Mammoth Hot Springs is a large complex of hot springs on a hill of travertine in Yellowstone National Park adjacent to Fort Yellowstone and the Mammoth Hot Springs Historic District. It was created over thousands of years as hot water from the spring cooled and deposited calcium carbonate (over two tons flow into Mammoth each day). The Mammoth Terraces ex-tend all the way from the hillside, across the Parade Ground, and down to Boiling River.Although these springs lie outside the caldera boundary, their energy has been attributed to the same magmatic system that fuels other Yellowstone geothermal areas.
94
BOILING RIVER
This is no average swimming hole. At Boiling River you can stand with one leg in the icy Gardner River and the other in a hot spring called Boiling River.
The result is nature‘s own hot tub, with small pools carved into deli-cate rock formations and a view of the magnificent Gardner River canyon walls.
Watch for wildlife in the water and the air.
The entrance is easy to miss; look for the sign marking the 45th Pa-rallel and the parking area on the east (river) side of the road.
95
FORT YELLOWSTONE
Fort Yellowstone was a U.S. Army fort established in 1891 at Mam-moth Hot Springs in Yellowstone National Park.
Yellowstone was designated in 1872 but the Interior Department was unable to effectively manage the park.
Administration was transferred to the War Department in August 1886 and General Philip Sheri-dan sent a company of cavalry to Mammoth Hot Springs to build a cavalry post. The army adminis-tered the park until 1918 when it was transferred to the newly crea-ted National Park Service.

DEVILS TOWER
is an igneous intrusion or laccolith in the Black Hills in Wyoming.
It rises dramatically 1,267 feet (386 m) above the surrounding terrain and the summit is 5,114 feet (1,559 m) above sea level.
Devils Tower was the first decla-red United States National Monu-ment, established on September 24, 1906, by President Theodore Roosevelt.
Geologists agree that Devils To-wer was formed by the intrusion of igneous material, but they cannot agree on exactly how that process took place.
103
MOUNT RUSHMORE
The Mount Rushmore National Memorial is a sculpture carved into the granite.
Sculpted by Gutzon Borglum and his son, Mount Rushmore features 60-foot sculptures of the heads of 4 United States presidents: Ge-orge Washington, Thomas Jef-ferson, Theodore Roosevelt and Abraham Lincoln.
The carving started in 1927, and ended in 1941. The durable granite erodes only 1 inch every 10,000 years, thus was more than sturdy enough to support the sculpture and its long term exposure.
