One of Yosemite National Park’s most desirable destinations will soon be memorialized by the United States Postal Service.
Nevada Fall, the 600-foot waterfall towering over the Yosemite Valley, will be featured as part of the Postal Service’s new waterfall stamp collection to be released next month. Each forever stamp includes a photo with the name of the waterfall and the state.
Nevada Fall is powered by the Merced River and is located along the Mist Trail near the equally popular Vernal Fall. Photographer Quang-Tuan Luong captured the image of the Yosemite water drop for the new batch of stamps, according to the Postal Service.
The stamps will go into circulation on June 13 with a ceremony in Yellowstone National Park, the Postal Service said.
Here is the full list of waterfalls recognized by the post:
