Roosevelt Arch, Triumphal arch at north entrance of Yellowstone National Park in Gardiner, US.
The Roosevelt Arch stands 52 feet tall, constructed with hexagonal blocks of columnar basalt and features two towers with pedestrian passages.
The cornerstone of this entrance monument was laid by President Theodore Roosevelt during its construction phase in 1903, containing a time capsule with newspapers.
The arch displays the inscription 'For the Benefit and Enjoyment of the People' from the Organic Act of 1872, marking America's dedication to conservation.
Located at coordinates 45.0295, -110.709, the structure remains accessible throughout the year and serves as a primary photo location for park visitors.
The original architectural plans included a lake and waterfall near the arch, but engineers created only a small pond that no longer exists.
