Yellowstone Falls Dinner Card

Lower Yellowstone Falls is a spectacular sight, but the photograph on this menu doesn’t do it justice partly because it is black-and-white but also because it was taken in the late afternoon when half the canyon was in the shade. Even black-and-white, it would have looked much better taken earlier in the day, which makes me wonder why well-known photographer Asahel Curtis didn’t do a better job.

The menu itself is exactly the same as yesterday’s; in fact, all of the cards in this series that I’ve seen have the same menu. Curiously, the menu never mentions “dessert,” but offers figs or guava jelly under entremets, plum pudding, apple pie, or fruit cake under breads and pastries, and anona or roquefort cheese under cheeses.
