USPS issued these Stamps to celebrate American waterfalls’ variety and beauty.

Each stamp features a waterfall photo with its name and state.

Issued in Yellowstone National Park, where one stamp pictures a major waterfall.

The US has 17,000 documented waterfalls, drawing visitors with natural beauty and power.

In 2023, USPS issued 12 Forever Stamps featuring various US waterfalls, from small ones like Sunbeam Falls to worldwide attractions like Niagara Falls.

Waterfalls vary in height, distance, width, or intensity. For example, cascades are smaller, and cataracts are large, powerful single-drop waterfalls.

Vernal or ephemeral falls can only be observed during spring when snowmelt provides water temporarily.

Geologist Oscar von Engeln stated in 1942 that waterfall sites attract and hold the public’s interest.

Chasing waterfalls is a great way to connect with nature and experience peace and tranquility.
