The escarpment edge has provided predictable and abundant high-quality water sources, places of natural shelter, and rock panels for carving stories about the landscape.

For the journalists of the world’s oldest and largest news agency, the mandate of covering the White House remains the same as it was in Lincoln’s day: be accurate, be fair and be fast. For photographers, who can never catch up to a missed opportunity, it means always keeping your eye on the president. Toured by Smith Kramer Fine Art Services, Kansas City, MO.
