My Canyon’s better than your Canyon…
Lower Falls made famous by Thomas Moran. Wikicommons.
The Grand Canyon in Arizona is ______. Fill in the blank. Inspiring, indescribable, breathtaking…. Every canyon in the U.S. is compared to or named after it. Waimea Canyon in Kauai was dubbed the “Grand Canyon of the Pacific” by Mark Twain.The Shawnee National Forest in Illinois has a “Little Grand Canyon.” Even Yellowstone has the “Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone.”
Each of these places are canyons and they all really are grand. But only one of these canyons has a 300 foot waterfall… and can you guess where it is? Despite it’s narrow top, Lower Falls dumps a higher volume of water over its edge in a day than Niagara Falls!
Maybe they should rename Niagara and call it, “The Lower Falls of the Niagara.”
In spread six, water leads us to one of it’s most spectacular creations in Yellowstone… it’s very own Grand Canyon and Lower Falls:

Question of the day: Have you seen Jessie’s latest postcard creations? Should she continue with
the papercut style for the next book or make a new style like the postcards?
