13575 - Goden Gate
The "Golden Gate" in the Yellowstone National Park was so named, first, because the entrance from below appeares like a gateway; and, second, because the abundance of yellow lichens that flourish on the walls of the cliffs gives to large patches, aggrogating acres of surface, a decidedly yellow color.
The tourists should get out of the carriage and alk through this beautiful canyon. The roadway is beautifully surfaced and inviting to the feet, and one who walks can look about so much better than is possible for one under the canopy of the carriage.
This view shows a pedestrian sitting by the roadside and looking up at the northern cliff of the canyon. Down the roadway a few rods stands a canopy-topped carriage, further down the roadway the larger of two artistic cemant bridges is seen. These bridges span gorges that were too deep and wide to justify filling with rock and earth. They cost over $10,000. The entire cost of building the road through this canyon exceeds $25,000.
Near the farther end of the large bridge the "Pillar of Hercules" and the Gateway are seen. Behind and below the gazing trourist seen in this view rushes Little Gardiner River on its way to join its bigger brother with whom it will soon enter the Yellowstone river, near the village of Gardiner.
