Democratic Sentinel, Volume 8, Number 42, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 14 November 1884 — Rainbow Rocks of the Yellowstone. [ARTICLE]

Rainbow Rocks of the Yellowstone.

From a natural platform at the very edge of the lower falls, the sight-seer can look 400 feet upward to the top of the heavily wooded banks, and down to the foot of the falls, 309 feet. It is not over forty feet from this natural platform to the other side of the river, and the volume of water compressed into this narrow space is enormous; but as soon as it passes it is transformed into snowy, fleecy foam, and from below rises a thick mist as the water is hurled upon the rocks that break its fall. Grand as are the falls themselves, the Grand Canyon really gives to the scene its unrivaled charm. One may see turrets, towers, pillars and cones, and hundreds of other fantastic shapes, according as the reins of fancy are loosed. The colors of the rocks include every tint of the rainbow. Below this is a stratum of brown rock, gradually shading into red. Then come orange, or yellow, violet and white limestone. Yonder is a bright, red tower, and beside it is a pillar of black flintstone. Below is a white cone, above a purple arc. —Correspondence Boston Times.
