The Yellowstone national park, historical and descriptive, illustrated with maps, views and portraits . Upper Falls of the Lower Falls through Eain ;Mist. A TOUR OF THE PARK. 321 Fall is a concrete steel bridge, of the design knoA\Ti as theMclan Arch, spanning the Yellowstone River and givingaccess to the right bank. The arch has a span of 120 feet,one of the longest of the kind yet built. From this bridge aroad leads down the canon as far as Artist Point, fromwhich Thomas Moran drew his inspiration for the cele-brated painting which now adorns the Capitol at Wash-ington. This road affords the best possible view to be had of theUpper Falls, and leads to the head of a long stainvay bywhich a safe descent can be made to the bottom of thecanon at the foot of the Lower Falls.
