Colonnade Falls
Colonnade Falls on the Belcher River is a two-stepped waterfall with a 35 foot upper and a 67 foot lower fall about 100 yards apart. The Bechler River drops over these two steps of hard volcanic rock. This waterfall is one of many in the southwestern part of Yellowstone called Cascade Corner. With the highest annual precipitation in the Park, 80 inches on average, and the lava flow which created the Pitchstone Plateau, this area has abrupt vertical relief with resistant hard ridges of rock along its stream courses, perfect for dramatic waterfalls

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing beauty of Colonnade Falls, located on the Belcher River in Yellowstone National Park's Cascade Corner. The falls consist of two distinct steps, with an upper fall measuring 35 feet and a lower fall cascading down for an impressive 67 feet. These magnificent waterfalls are separated by approximately 100 yards and are formed by the Bechler River flowing over hard volcanic rock. The surrounding area boasts a unique landscape shaped by the highest annual precipitation in the park, averaging around 80 inches. This combined with the lava flow that created the Pitchstone Plateau has resulted in dramatic vertical relief and resilient ridges of rock along its stream courses – ideal conditions for creating such breathtaking waterfalls. Tom Murphy's skillful photography perfectly captures every aspect of this natural wonder. From the foaming waters crashing against rugged rocks to their graceful motion as they cascade downwards, each detail is brought to life through his lens. The lush surroundings add to its mystical allure, while shimmering waters reflect pure serenity. This print invites viewers into a world untouched by human hands – unspoiled, wild, and wondrously beautiful. It evokes feelings of peace and tranquility as one immerses themselves in nature's pristine embrace during summertime bliss. A true masterpiece capturing both the power and elegance of nature's creations.
