Images of Yellowstone - Fine Photography

Sheepeater Cliffs is a popular stop on the Grand Loop Road about 7 or 8 miles south of Mammoth Hot Springs. There is a little-known trail that leads east from the Sheepeater Cliffs along the Gardner River. About a half-mile down this trail is this wonderful falls. The view downstream is of a pristine wetland and meadow and about a half-mile further is another falls where the Gardner exits the meadow. This picture is of the first falls and was taken using a medium format camera and Velvia 50, which yields a very large "digital negative" for exceptional prints. Image size is 12.5" x 15.9" on a 16" x 20" mat and backer.
