The Bechler River is a remote major river flowing southwest entirely within the confines of Yellowstone National Park to it confluence with the Fall River in the southwest section of the park. The river was named by Frank Bradley, a member of the 1872 Hayden Geological Survey for cartographer and explorer Gustavus R. Bechler, the chief surveyor and mapmaker on the survey. Henry Gannett also a member of the survey claimed that Bechler discovered the river, but trapper Osborne Russell explored the area in 1830. ==Waterfalls== The Bechler 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 Bechler River watershed: * Albright Falls, , * Bechler Falls, , * Colonnade Falls, * * Upper * * Lower * Dunanda Falls, , * Gwinna Falls, , * Iris Falls, , * Ouzel Falls, , * Quiver Cascade, , * Ragged Falls, , * Tempe Cascade, , * Twister Falls, , * Wahhi Falls, * * Upper * * Lower 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bechler River」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
