Fall River (Wyoming, Idaho) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Fall River (Wyoming, Idaho)
Fall River rises on the Madison and Pitchstone plateaus in the southwest corner of Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming and flows approximately 〔 to its confluence with the Henrys Fork of the Snake River near Ashton, Idaho. Historically, the river was referred to as the Middle Fork of the Snake River〔Richard (Beaver Dick) Liegh refers to Fall River as the Middle Fork in his journals. See Beaver Dick, The Honor and The Heartbreak by Thompson and Tompson, Jelm Mountain Press, 1981, ISBN 0-936204-26-5〕 or as Fall River or the Falls River by trappers and prospectors as early as the 1830s. It was officially named the Falls River by the 1872 Hayden Geological Survey, but was always called Fall River by the locals〔The local power company that was founded in the 1930s was named Fall River Electric〕 and so the U.S. Board on Geographic Names changed the official name to Fall River in 1997 at the request of Idaho authorities.〔 The river is home to numerous waterfalls and cascades in its upper reaches. ==Waterfalls== The Fall River is located in the remote "Cascade Corner" of the park, a name given to the southwest section of the park by then-superintendent Horace Albright in 1921 for the proliferation of waterfalls and cascades in the Fall and Bechler River drainages. Several major Yellowstone waterfalls exist in the Fall River watershed: * Cave Falls, , * Terraced Falls, ,
