“Artist” artist point is one of the most important figures in the early history of yellowstone
Thomas Moran helped introduce the Yellowstone landscape to the 19th century America
After first visiting the yellowstone artist’s point, you may assume that the name only comes from a strong equation with artwork. But while this assessment is certainly accurate, the name “artist point” actually refers to a particular artist, who plays a key role in the history of Yellowstone National Park.
Thomas Moran is the 19th-century artist most famous for its association with Hudson River SchoolA group of American artists specializing in dramatic and romantic paintings on the American landscape. In 1871, Moran attended a geological survey through Rocky Mountains, including what would eventually become Yellowstone National Park.
An expedition, known as Hayden Expedition After its leader, Dr. Ferdinand Vandeveer Hayden, will be the first survey funded by Federal in Yellowstone province. The role of Moran is to use its artistic skills to draw evocative, but realistic, the rugged landscape of the expedition.
Although the Hayden expedition is mainly a geological review, Moran may play the most important role of all. The amazing Moran paintings from Yellowstone reflect the wonders and power of this unique ecosystem, and easily capture the countless American imagination that has never found such a scene before. He documented some of these things his diary.
Moran’s painting, as is unusual The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone, It may have done more than anything else to inspire Congress to establish Yellowstone as the first American National Park in 1872, just one year after the expedition. As an inspiration like this, there is a little mistake about the facts that surround the works of the icon.

However, the name of the artist point turned out to be a mistake
Moran actually doesn’t draw his famous landscape here
The name “Artist Point” is based on the general belief that this specific view is the right place where Thomas Moran draws his iconic picture from the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. This account returns to 1890, when the photographer Frank J. Haynes Connecting the views of Moran’s famous painting in the famous Yellowstone handbook and postcards.
The relationship between the artist’s moran and the special point in the southern rim of Canyon, leading to the official name of “Artist Point.” However, this account is wrong.
During the expedition of 1871, Moran might draw his famous reflection of Canyon from a different point in North rim. This place, now known as The point of the reviewIt may have been named “Moran Point” by the original Hayden Expedition at that time.
Unfortunately, this little detail seems to have avoided Frank J. Haynes and the promotor of the other yellowstone. Therefore, The name “Artist Point” now belongs to the wrong location.

Despite this small history surveillance, artists are more than living to the spirit of Moran’s painting, if not the right location. Point can be said to be the only best location to see the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone and the unusual Fall down All in one view.
In fact, with stunning views of waterfalls and pure mountain forests on all sides, The Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone can defeat the Grand Canyon who is more famous as the destination of the less fortunate National Park.
Better yet, the artist points sitting at the end of one of the easiest yellowstone routes. The Trailhead Point Artist accessible from a simple parking area. The increase to the artist’s point through the Canyon Rim South Trail is only 2.7 miles long, with a minimum height profit. Most pedestrians can complete the entire increase in one hour (though you may want a pencil in a little while to stop and admire the view).
It is true that if you are lucky to visit the artist point, you will not stand in the right place where Thomas Moran created his famous painting. But you will stand in one of the most beautiful places not only in Yellowstone, but in the US National Park system as a whole. And for most tourists, it’s more important than historical inaccuracy.
