Tower Fall is a waterfall on Tower Creek in the northeastern region of Yellowstone National Park, in the U.S. state of Wyoming. Approximately 1,000 yards (910 m) upstream from the creek's confluence with the Yellowstone River, the fall plunges 132 feet (40 m). Its name comes from the rock pinnacles at the top of the fall. Tower Creek and Tower Falls are located approximately three miles south of Roosevelt Junction on the Tower-Canyon road.
Famous quotes containing the words tower and/or fall:
“All over France, in every city there stand cathedrals like this one, triumphant monuments of the past. They tower over the homes of our people like mighty guardians, keeping alive the invincible faith of the Christian. Every arch, every column, every statue is a carved leaf out of our history, a book in stone, glorifying the spirit of France.”
—Sonya Levien (18951960)
“Listen to me. You come into this town, and you think youre headed somewhere, dont you? You think youre gonna get there with a gun, but youre not. Get me. You know why, cause you got thousand dollar bills pasted right across your eyes. And someday youre gonna stumble and fall down in the gutter, right where the horses have been standin, right where you belong.”
—Ben Hecht (18931964)
