 YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK 
 
 Geyserland 
 
 Formed by fire and finished by ice, wind, and water, is perhaps a summary of 
 the geologic story of Yellowstone Park. Great volcanoes, forgotten by all except 
 the scientists, fashioned the foundations of the landscape visible today; immense 
 glaciers carved and polished canyon and mountain slope; wind and water perfected 
 the infinitely varied sculpture of gorge, peak, and precipice. 
 
 Then the softer moods of Nature prevailed. She provided majestic rivers and 
 far-reaching lakes, spread vast evergreen forests over her original handiwork, 
 patterned the open spaces with lovely wild flower gardens. She gave this domain to 
 bear, buffalo, and beaver, elk and antelope, moose and deer; to eagle, waterfowl, 
 lark, thrush, and warbler; and to the finny tribes of lake and stream. 
 
 What distinguishes Yellowstone is the existing evidence of those original 
 mysterious and magnificent processes of the Park's creation. The visitor walks 
 through the looking glass into a wonderland where incredible things happen. 
 Astonishment becomes a constant emotion. 
 
 Although there is no sign of life about the ancient volcanoes, the earth hisses 
 from a thousand vents, stretching, perhaps, from the subterranean fire. Great 
 fountains of water and steam soar gracefully into the air, some regularly, others 
 at unforeseen times. Numberless pools murmur and boil; the minute hot-water 
 inhabitants of some have painted their bowls with the exquisite colors of sapphire, 
 emerald, and morning-glory; others have erected terraces and enameled basins of 
 surpassing richness or have thrust their steaming cones through the icy waters 
 of a lake. Here, a mass of plastic clay, pink and cream, pouts and sputters; there, 
 stands a cliff of glass, a mountain of sulphur. On yonder mountain side are the 
 petrified remains of a prehistoric forest now composed of agate, carnelian, jasper, 
 chrysoprase, and amethyst. A great river plunges with thunder and mist hundreds 
 of feet into a stupendous canyon cut through twelve hundred feet of prismatic 
 pigments, glowing with a harmony of color that no man has successfully de- 
 scribed. 
 
 Yellowstone is vast, wild, unspoiled, a masterpiece of the primitive set aside 
 in the fastnesses of the Rocky Mountains. It has lofty peaks, immense lakes, 
 majestic rivers, wild flowers in profusion, forests living and fossil, glaciers at its 
 borders all, in fact, that other parks contain and in addition, the matchless 
 canyon and the amazing geysers. 
 
 You start one cool bright morning along a smooth road through the fragrant 
 pine forests. Steam rises ahead and a turn discloses a small geyser spouting 
 the first you have ever seen. But at the same moment a mother bear, followed 
 by her cubs, walks through a glade and when you have lost sight of them the 
 geyser is quiet. Now the automobile has stopped beside a weird group of "paint 
 pots" or has paused at a beautiful hot spring. Another geyser gushes unexpect- 
 edly from the riverside, a boiling spring emits a cavernous rumble, steam vents 
 puff and hiss. The white crest of a distant peak appears, you glimpse a lacy water- 
 fall, or the rippled ultramarine of a half-hidden lake; a deer bounds across the 
 highway. On another day you are motoring along the rim of the most gorgeous 
 of all gorges, lost in delighted wonder. Then the automobile, passing acres of rich 
 wild flower gardens, climbs to the crest of Mt. Washburn, whence noble pano- 
 ramas of the Rockies stretch away in every direction and the Park becomes a 
 titanic relief map. 
 
 These are random features of the wonders that a tour of Yellowstone Park 
 unfolds scenes that intrepid explorers not so long ago faced hardship and danger 
 to behold. You may see them in complete comfort, unspoiled, unchanged.

 General Description 
 
 Yellowstone is the largest and probably the most famous of our national parks. 
 There is no other region like it. In the variety and power of its geysers, in the 
 diversity of its wonders, it has no rival. The Park, second in historical rank, was 
 created by act of Congress, in 1872, for the perpetual enjoyment of the people. 
 Uncle Sam has made it convenient and comfortable for all who wish to come. 
 
 Yellowstone National Park is situated in northwestern Wyoming and extends 
 slightly into Idaho and Montana. It is about 62 miles long and 54 miles wide, 
 and has an area of 3,348 square miles. Its general physical character is that of a 
 broad, volcanic plateau with an average elevation of 8,000 feet, and surrounded by 
 mountain ranges rising from 2,000 to 4,000 feet higher. 
 
 In Yellowstone Park there are approximately 100 geysers, more than in all the 
 rest of the world. The very earth puffs, steams and hisses in the geyser basins as if a 
 thousand underground factories were at work. There are some 4,000 hot and 
 boiling springs, and many cold springs, some of them flowing Apollinaris and 
 other mineral waters. There are prismatic pools with the exquisite beauty of 
 flawless gems and flowers. Multi-colored "paint-pots" of plastic clay bubble and 
 seethe. Gruesome mud volcanoes churn and roar harmlessly. There are tinted, 
 fretted terraces resembling the fancied architecture of fairyland. 
 
 But Yellowstone must not be associated only with geysers and other hot 
 water phenomena. Without the geysers, Yellowstone would remain a region of 
 transcendent beauty. The gorgeous canyon, painted more gloriously than any 
 other gorge on earth, is a spectacle so sublime that it alone would draw thousands 
 of visitors. At its head a waterfall of great height and wonderful symmetry leaps 
 from the evergreen hills and is lost in its own cloud of swirling spray. Castellated 
 crags and lofty spires rise from slopes presenting all the tones of yellow, orange, red, 
 and white. There are petrified forests, the trunks standing where they grew; 
 there is a cliff of obsidian (volcanic glass) and a natural bridge. 
 
 The setting of these wonders is a land of vast evergreen forests, immense 
 lakes, noble rivers, and majestic peaks. The rugged Absaroka Range stands upon 
 the eastern boundary and the stately Gallatins guard the northwest. The drive 
 over the summit of Mt. Washburn is one of the most inspiring mountain trips that 
 can be made by automobile. The great tributaries of the Missouri River and the 
 Snake have their sources within or near the Park. Yellowstone Lake, nearly 8,000 
 feet in elevation, and its largest body of water, has an area of 139 square miles. 
 
 This primeval wilderness is the largest and most successful wild animal refuge 
 on earth. As an easily accessible field for varied nature study it has no equal. 
 Bear, deer, elk, antelope, and many lesser animals may be seen with little effort, 
 and those who travel the trails may see moose, bisons, and mountain sheep. There 
 are 200 species of birds in the Park; eagles nest upon the crags. Most of the streams 
 and lakes abound in trout and the Madison River also contains grayling. 
 
 Through the forests, in the open meadows, and particularly upon the slopes of 
 Mt. Washburn, are lovely gardens of wild flowers. 
 
 There are four great resort hotels in the Park, distinctive in architecture, and 
 with the best metropolitan standards of luxurious service. There are five permanent 
 camps, composed of comfortable tent cottages, together with central dining rooms

 and social halls. Both hotels, and permanent camps are situated adjacent to the 
 principal places of interest and are regulated by the Federal Government. 
 
 More than 300 miles of improved roads traverse the Park. Upon these excellent 
 government highways, powerful automobiles operate on regular schedules from 
 West Yellowstone, connecting with Union Pacific trains and making a complete 
 circuit of the chief scenic attractions. 
 
 "Taken in all its phases, the climate of the Park is as delightful and health- 
 giving as it is possible to find," writes General Chittenden, the foremost authority 
 on Yellowstone. The summer air of the high plateau is cool, fragrant, and invigorat- 
 ing. 
 
 What to Do 
 
 On a brief trip to Yellowstone, the visitor will probably be fully occupied with 
 observing and admiring the scenic wonders and the wild animals. But the Park is a 
 place to linger for a month or a summer. It is impossible to know it intimately on a 
 brief visit and many return year after year to enjoy its variety. For those who 
 linger, there are several hundred miles of trails leading to places of interest not 
 reached by the automobiles; these may be traversed on foot, or on horses, which 
 may be hired at reasonable rates. The trail traveler will have exceptional opportuni- 
 ties to see and photograph wild animals. Yellowstone is a happy hunting ground for 
 the camera enthusiast; nowhere else can be obtained with equal ease so many 
 unusual pictures. There are voyages to be taken on Yellowstone Lake, in row-

 boats or motor boats. There are rugged mountains to be climbed, some of them, 
 as Grand Teton, to the south, requiring first rate mountaineering skill. 
 
 In the beautiful fairyland of Yellowstone you may live and travel in complete 
 comfort. You may rest, accomplish your sightseeing from the cushions of an auto- 
 mobile, ride horseback, or follow the alluring trails on foot. You may procure a 
 guide and camp equipment and explore the rarely visited regions where there is 
 neither road nor trail. Guides are furnished without charge for short trips to the 
 geysers, the Grand Canyon, and the Mammoth Hot Springs. Good fishing may be 
 had in practically any part of the Park, near hotels or camps. In the evening 
 there are dances, impromptu entertainments, and other forms of amusement. 
 Swimming pools are maintained at Old Faithful and at Mammoth Hot Springs. 
 
 The Park, as a national institution, exists for your enjoyment. 
 
 History 
 
 John Colter, an intrepid frontiersman and a member of the Lewis and Clark 
 expedition, was the first white man to behold any part of what is now Yellowstone 
 Park. In 1807, after being wounded in a battle between Crow and Blackfeet 
 Indians, he journeyed across the Park from Jackson Hole to Tower Fall, and carried 
 the first accounts to civilization. Jim Bridger, famous guide, and J. L. Meek, a 
 trapper and pioneer, were there about 1829. W. A. Ferris, of the American Fur 
 Company, visited the geysers in 1834 and wrote the first published account of them. 
 In 1863, Capt. DeLacy, searching for gold, explored part of the region. Yet,

 because of the extraordinary nature of the phenomena, early accounts were dis- 
 credited, and the Yellowstone remained practically unknown until the explorations 
 of Folsom, Cook, and Peterson, in 1869, were disclosed. The Washburn-Doane 
 expedition of 1870, which included Langford, Hedges, and Everts, and the scientific 
 explorations of Dr. Hayden, of the Geological Survey, in 1871-2, increased its fame 
 and led to its establishment as a national park, in 1872. 
 
 The Environs of the Park 
 
 Beyond the arbitrary boundaries of the Park, particularly to the south, east, 
 and northeast, are rugged mountain areas famous for scenic beauty. 
 
 The Teton Range begins a few miles outside the southern boundary and reaches 
 its highest sublimity 30 miles southward, in the spired group of granite peaks that 
 culminates in Grand Teton, 13,747 feet in altitude. Grand Teton, chief landmark 
 of the trapper early in the 19th century, is called by Gen. Chittenden "the most 
 interesting historic summit of the Rocky Mountains." The mountains rise so 
 precipitously from the wooded shores of Jackson Lake, their crests are so sharp and 
 lofty, and their slopes so wild and broken, that they are in many respects the most 
 unusual and impressive mountains in America. Resembling pictured peaks in 
 books of fairy tales, they are unbelievably beautiful. They spring suddenly from 
 the water's edge into the clouds, carrying gleaming glaciers upon their scarred and 
 riven flanks. 
 
 The surrounding country, in Teton National Forest and, known as Jackson 
 Hole, shares the wild grandeur of the mighty peaks. There are many excellent 
 fishing streams and lakes, wooded upland plains, and vast forested areas. The 
 region is the foremost big game haunt in the United States, noted especially for its 
 abundance of elk. Yellowstone visitors already regard it as part of the Park. At 
 Old -Faithful Inn or Camp, arrangements may be made for automobile trips to 
 Moran, where a rustic lodge provides accommodations. A bill is pending in Congress 
 for the annexation of the region to Yellowstone Park. 
 
 Another scenic region of high rank surrounds the quaint little mining town of 
 Cooke City, Mont., just outside the northeast corner of the Park, and in the Bear- 
 tooth National Forest. Probably the chief scenic spectacle in the vicinity is the 
 Grasshopper Glacier, an immense mass of snow and ice far up on the shoulder of 
 Iceberg Peak. Imbedded in the ice, which has cliffs 100 feet high, are millions of 
 grasshoppers, struck down by some prehistoric snowstorm. The contiguous region 
 is one of jagged peaks, chaotic, imperfectly explored canyons, and mountain lakes 
 leaping with trout. Most notable of these lakes is Abundance, so named from its 
 apparently inexhaustible supply of game fish. Trails lead from Cooke City into 
 the lofty peaks, conspicuous among them, Pilot and Index, remarkable for their 
 perpendicular, castellated crests. Cooke City, 38 miles from Camp Roosevelt and 
 reached by auto from that place or from Mammoth Hot Springs, has small hotels 
 and a camp nearby; special saddle trips, with guide, are provided. 
 
 Wild Flowers and Forests 
 
 Yellowstone is a vast botanical garden. Wild flowers in great variety and pro- 
 fusion add the final exquisite touch to the beauty of the wonderland. They grow 
 not only on the low lands, but far up the heights, often beside the melting snowdrifts. 
 Among the characteristic and widely distributed flowers that bloom during the 
 Park season are: violets, phlox, mertensia, lupine, larkspur, monkshood, geraniums, 
 harebells, avalanche lilies, mentzelia, primroses, asters, anemones, shooting stars, 
 buttercups, and wild roses. The favorite habitat of the columbine is on Mt. Wash-

 burn. Forget-me-nots are frequent; wild flax and the Indian paint-brush grow 
 everywhere. Many esteem the fringed gentian foremost among the floral beauties 
 of the Park. 
 
 Five-sixths of the area of the Park is forested, largely with coniferous trees; 
 approximately three-fourths of the forests consist of lodge-pole pines. Other trees 
 are white pine, Englemann spruce, silver fir, cedar, and cotton wood; the quaking 
 aspen grows in all parts of the Park, furnishing food for elk, deer, and beaver. 
 
 Season and Climate 
 
 The Park season is from June 20th to September 15th. The first Yellowstone 
 Special will leave Salt Lake City on June 19th, and the first automobile will leave 
 West Yellowstone station on June 20th. The last date on which automobiles will 
 return to West Yellowstone after a complete tour of the Park will be September 19th. 
 
 The season at which the Park is open to visitors is at a time when life in the 
 mountains is most healthful and delightful. The elevation 8,000 feet insures 
 cool nights, ideal for refreshing sleep. The days are clear and sunshiny, but never 
 hot or oppressive. The pure, bracing air, free from fog, carries the wholesome tang 
 of the pine forests. Mean average summer temperatures range from 54 degrees to 
 64 degrees, with a maximum of 88 degrees. While Yellowstone has never been 
 exploited for its health-restoring features, its pure waters and equable, bracing 
 climate are undoubtedly of great benefit. Those who remain long enough to enjoy 
 its open air diversions cannot fail to perceive the invigorating results of the outing.

 The Geysers 
 
 Among all the wonders that Yellowstone contains, none is so startling, weird, 
 and impressive as the geysers. Drawing their energy from invisible underground 
 sources, some spouting with clock-like regularity, others, apparently, when they 
 feel like it, these mysterious hot-water fountains fascinate the beholder and leave 
 an indelible record on the memory. In number, in power, variety, and splendor of 
 action, the Yellowstone geysers are unrivaled elsewhere on earth. 
 
 The principal geysers are found in three basins in the west-central part of the 
 Park, while smaller groups exist to the south. Other hot water phenomena, ex- 
 quisitely tinted springs and terraces, mud volcanoes, and innumerable steam vents, 
 are distributed throughout the Park. Upper, Lower, and Norris Basins, the chief 
 geyser areas, are included in the circuit automobile tour from West Yellowstone, 
 as are two smaller intermediate basins, Midway and Biscuit. 
 
 First among the geysers of Yellowstone is Old Faithful, the most celebrated 
 geyser in the world. Combining power, volume, beauty, and regularity, it 
 approaches the geyser ideal and never fails to delight the beholder by sending its 
 graceful, spray-draped column skyward at intervals of from 65 to 80 minutes. 
 The Daisy, a smaller, but highly interesting geyser, also plays with pleasing regu- 
 larity. Other geysers noted for the splendor of their performances are the Giant,

Grand, Giantess, Great Fountain, and Beehive. Some gush irregularly, days inter- 
 vening; some play every few minutes; some spout and roar with the intensity of 
 volcanoes, while others play less violently, displaying a variety of individual pecu- 
 liarities. The Riverside, situated as its name implies, sends a diagonal jet above the 
 stream; the Castle, the Grotto, and the Beehive are noted for their picturesque 
 cones, as also is the Lone Star, in the forest about 3^ miles southeast of Old 
 Faithful. The Excelsior Geyser, once the greatest on earth, has ceased its activity, 
 although its immense crater rilled with boiling water remains a thrilling sight. 
 
 The enchanting delicacy of form and color that distinguishes many of the hot 
 springs has its highest manifestation in Morning Glory and Turquoise Springs, 
 Prismatic Lake, and Emerald Pool. Handkerchief Pool sucks your handkerchief 
 down its throat and returns it thoroughly washed. Many of the geyser pools, such 
 as Fountain and Oblong, are highly beautiful in repose.

 Grand Canyon and Great Falls of the Yellowstone 
 
 In sheer, compelling beauty, no single spectacle in the Park approaches the 
 Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone with the Great Falls at its head. It is in fact, as 
 declared by Gen. Chittenden, "acknowledged by all beholders to stand without 
 parallel among the natural wonders of the globe." Color, glowing color spread 
 over its castellated walls with measureless prodigality and infinite variety is its 
 most striking feature. 
 
 The great prismatic gorge is 1,200 feet deep, 2,000 feet wide at the top, and 200 
 feet wide at the bottom. Its walls are fissured, slashed, etched, and carved into 
 thousands of architectural forms which rise here and there in dizzy groups of gothic 
 spires where eagles make their nests. Over these slopes are gorgeous patterns of 
 color all the tones of orange and yellow, vivid and pale; rich crimson down the 
 scale to most delicate pink; blacks, grays, buffs, pearly tints, and pure white.

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK 
 
 Grand Canyon and Great Falls of the Yellowstone 
 
 Far below, a slender, winding ribbon of green bordered with white lace, the river 
 flows. Upon the plateau dense forests furnish long borders of dark green and the 
 vault of the sky contributes its varying blue. 
 
 The finest aspects of the scene cannot omit the Great Falls of the Yellowstone. 
 There, the river becomes perpendicular and leaps with the roar of a thousand 
 dynamos 308 feet to the floor of the kaleidoscopic canyon, losing itself in a whirling 
 nebula of spray which sends graceful streamers of mist incessantly upward. A 
 stairway leads to the crest of the Great Falls and a trail descends to its foot. Less 
 than half a mile upstream is the Upper Fall, 109 feet high, itself impressively 
 wonderful. The symmetrical beauty of both these falls is heightened by their 
 matchless surroundings. Seen by moonlight, they acquire a softened and mysterious 
 charm that is not to be described. 
 
 Talented men have left descriptions of the scene, graphic but inadequate word 
 pictures; usually, these end as did that of Folsom, who beheld the canyon in 1869: 
 "Language is entirely inadequate to convey a just conception of the awful grandeur 
 and sublimity of this most beautiful of nature's handiwork." 
 
 Rudyard Kipling wrote: "Without warning or preparation, I looked, into a 
 gulf 1,700 feet deep, with eagles and fishhawks circling far below. And the sides of 
 that gulf were one wild welter of color crimson, emerald, cobalt, ochre, amber, 
 honey splashed with port wine, snow-white, vermilion, lemon, and silver grey in 
 wide washes. So far below that no sound of strife could reach us, the Yellowstone 
 River ran, a finger-wide strip of jade green. The sun-light took those wondrous 
 walls and gave fresh hues to those that nature had already laid there."

 A View from Mt. Washburn 
 
 Of the many view points along the Canyon rim, perhaps the most celebrated 
 are Artist and Inspiration Points. The view from the latter should not be missed 
 by any visitor. Other view points, each disclosing special features and enchanting 
 vistas are Point Lookout, Red Rock, Grand View, and the Castle Ruins, all of 
 them along the road leading to Inspiration Point. 
 
 Mt. Washburn and the Tower Falls Region 
 
 Northward from the Grand Canyon, the automobile road leads, by way of 
 Dunraven Pass over the shoulder of Mt. Washburn, an extinct volcano, 10,388 feet 
 high. By special arrangement and payment of $2.00 passengers holding Park Tour 
 tickets will be carried to the very summit of the mountain. Upon the slopes of 
 this great peak are lovely gardens of wild flowers, mile upon mile in extent, and of 
 richest variety. From Mt. Washburn's crest the traveler is impressively re- 
 minded that he is in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, for noble panoramas of 
 lofty mountains lie south, east, and north, including the matchless Tetons, the wild 
 and rugged Absarokas, the wintry Snowy Range, and the stately Gallatins, with 
 vast intermediate areas of forest rolling away in every direction. 
 
 Tower Fall, a beautiful column of water, 132 feet high and surrounded by 
 bizarre pinnacles of volcanic rock, is near the lower end of the Grand Canyon of the 
 Yellowstone; remarkable palisades of columnar basalt overlook the river and in one 
 spot actually project across the road, while slender spires rise from the depths of 
 the gorge. Camp Roosevelt, in the vicinity, is the starting point for the Fossil 
 Forests and the glaciers in Beartooth National Forest, near Cooke City.

 Fossil Forests 
 
 The great fossil forests of the Yellowstone truly deserve their name because, 
 instead of scattered groups of fallen logs far removed from their place of growth, 
 the petrified trunks remain standing where they first took root. The forests occupy 
 extensive areas in the northeastern part of the Park, on the ridges south and west 
 of Lamar River. The most accessible stands on Specimen Ridge at elevations 
 between 7,000 and 7,500 feet, about 6 miles southeast of Camp Roosevelt, and may 
 be reached on horseback. There are a few petrified trees about 1% miles west of 
 the camp. On the northeastern slope of Amethyst Mountain, about 10 miles due 
 southeast of Camp Roosevelt, the forests stand superimposed through 2,000 feet of 
 strata, where they were successively imprisoned by flows of volcanic material, and 
 the lower slopes are covered with fragments displaying beautiful crystals of agate, 
 carnelian, jasper, chrysoprase, and amethyst. 
 
 Among the petrified trees of the Yellowstone are more varieties than are found 
 in any other region; they include redwoods, pines, laurels, bays, buckthorns, syca- 
 mores, and oaks. Some of the trunks rise 40 feet above ground and one redwood 
 discovered measures 26J^ feet in circumference. The wood structure is perfectly 
 preserved, although its age is estimated at approximately a million years.

 At Mammoth Hot Springs, hot waters heavily laden with carbonate of lime 
 from subterranean sources have built up a number of terraced eminences exquisitely 
 carved and embossed. Algae living in the cascades that pour down their slopes 
 have painted the fretted basins and sculptured cornices with delicate tones of 
 scarlet, orange, pink, yellow, and blue, while, where the waters have temporarily 
 ceased flowing, the fluted columns and beaded traceries are snow-white. With the 
 water pouring over their elaborate incrustations, the terraces glow with a matchless 
 harmony of color and seem like living organisms. In fact, the terraces do grow and 
 change, sometimes building up their dainty architecture so rapidly that trees 
 are engulfed. 
 
 The beauty of the individual terraces often varies from year to year with the 
 flow of hot water, and this adds changing variety to the charm of the entire group. 
 Pulpit, Jupiter, Cleopatra, Angel, and Hymen terraces, Orange Spring, the White 
 Elephant, and the Devil's Kitchen are perhaps the most striking features. Liberty 
 Cap, the hardened cone of an extinct hot spring, now stands like a monument, 40 
 feet above the formation. 
 
 The steaming, tinted terraces, with the nearby administration buildings, are 
 surrounded by mountains the long, palisaded battlements of Mt. Everts, to the 
 east; the rounded dome of Bunsen Peak, to the south; the peaks of the Gallatin 
 Range in the west; and the rugged masses of the Snowy Range in the north. Side 
 trips may be made to Bunsen Peak, Osprey Falls, Sepulchre Mountain, Boiling 
 River, and to the herd of buffalo in a corral on the road to Bunsen Peak.

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK 
 
 Sanctuary for Wild Life 
 
 The success of this largest of natural zoological Gardens is established by the 
 mute testimony of the wild animals themselves. Because of the protection given 
 them, they have increased and multiplied, and they have lost much of their fear of 
 man. All of them are harmless unless interfered with or annoyed. Hunting them 
 with the camera is encouraged, but no other kind is permitted. Automobile 
 travelers along the main highway during the season may not always see even the 
 most common species; the patient traveler on the nearby trails, however, may often 
 see bear, elk, deer, and antelope; and by walking or riding horseback to their known 
 retreats, he may see moose, mountain sheep, and buffalo. 
 
 Bears are perhaps first in interest. Black and cinnamon bears are numerous 
 and may usually be seen during the early morning or evening feeding upon the 
 kitchen scraps given them by the hotels and camps. Your vacation time is theirs 
 also, for then they do not have to search for food. They are playful, sometimes 
 friendly, and will boldly steal anything edible. Occasionally, a grizzly joins the 
 feast and is treated with marked respect. A mother bear with young cubs is always 
 a charming sight. It is inadvisable to approach the bears too closely, no matter 
 how good humored they may seem. 
 
 There are two herds of buffalo in the Park. One, numbering more than 400, 
 ranges up the Lamar River and in the valley of Calfee Creek. This herd may 
 readily be found by visitors who make a special trip to the vicinity. During the 
 summer, a few buffalo are kept in a corral near Mammoth Hot Springs for the 
 observance of tourists. The unrestrained herd, numbering about 70, roams be- 
 tween Yellowstone Lake and the Lamar River. 
 
 The number of elk in the Park is estimated to be 30,000; they spend the 
 spring and summer above the timber-line in the mountains and frequently roam 
 outside its boundaries. Special trips to the north end of Yellowstone Lake and to 
 Specimen Ridge often result in seeing a number of them. There are more than a 
 thousand moose, principally in the southern parts. Antelope are common in the 
 open valleys of the Yellowstone, Gardiner, and Lamar Rivers. Mountain sheep 
 live in the northern ranges of the Park, and mule deer may be seen in all its parts. 
 Beavers are fairly abundant along most of the streams and their dams and houses 
 are always sources of interest. Among other smaller animals are foxes, otters, 
 badgers, minks, martens, wolverines, porcupines, woodchucks, and several vari- 
 eties of chipmunk, squirrel, and rabbit. 
 
 Two hundred species of birds are found in the Park. Among them are eagles, 
 hawks, falcons, owls, kingfishers, gulls, pelicans, ducks, geese, swans, herons, cranes, 
 snipes, plovers, grouse, woodpeckers, blackbirds, larks, jays, magpies, orioles, 
 finches, swallows, waxwings, warblers, wrens, thrushes, and bluebirds. 
 
 Lively Fishing Waters 
 
 The native game fishes of Yellowstone, which is indeed a fisherman's paradise, 
 are grayling and cutthroat trout, while the whitefish, which also is a native, may 
 be so classed. The game fishes introduced by the government are rainbow, Loch 
 Leven, European brown or Von Behr, Eastern brook, and lake trout. These 
 species are replenished through annual plantings by the Bureau of Fisheries. 
 
 Nearly all of the lakes and streams of the Park, from those within easy distance 
 of hotels and camps to the most remote, contain one or more species of trout and 
 a few contain whitefish and grayling. Naturally the more distant waters offer the 
 readiest sport. Good fishing may be had in Yellowstone Lake and River, and the 
 Madison, Gibbon, and Firehole Rivers, which are reached by the main highways.

 But in the less visited lakes and streams, the sport attains a pinnacle of excellence. 
 A government booklet, revised each season gives detailed accounts of the fishing in 
 the principal lakes and streams. 
 
 Those who come unprepared may rent fishing equipment at any of the hotels or 
 camps, or may purchase it at the general stores. No license is required. 
 
 Excursions on Yellowstone Lake 
 
 Few lakes on earth surpass Yellowstone Lake both in area and elevation. Its 
 surface covers approximately 139 square miles and it is nearly a mile and one half 
 above the level of the sea. The jagged, snowy Absarokas stand in the east; to the 
 south, Mt. Sheridan, an extinct volcano. There are brilliant "paint-pots," hot 
 springs, and one active geyser on the West Thumb shore; the famous fishing cone 
 also stands there. Motor and row boats may be engaged from the boat company 
 near Lake Hotel and Camp at reasonable rates authorized by the Government, 
 and many interesting trips to the distant shores may be made. 
 
 Hotels and Permanent Camps 
 
 Visitors may stop at the hotels or the permanent camps, whose standards are 
 established and supervised by the Federal Government. Both hotels and camps 
 are situated in the vicinity of the chief attractions. The hotels are individual in 
 architecture, spacious, and completely equipped with modern conveniences. The 
 permanent camps are little villages of comfortably furnished tent-cottages, with 
 central dining and social halls. 
 
 Old Faithful Inn, in Upper Geyser Basin, is a great hotel of native logs and 
 stone, noted for its original architectural beauty and its pleasing harmony with its 
 surroundings. Pilasters, braces, and balustrades of natural branches from the 
 neighboring forests produce a delightful blend of art and rusticity. In the wide and 
 lofty lobby, with its sepia tones of bark, the guest may easily fancy himself in the 
 depths of the forest. In the massive fireplace an ox might be roasted whole. At 
 night a searchlight plays from the roof on the ghostly column of Old Faithful 
 Geyser and on the bears feeding in the woods. 
 
 Old Faithful Camp, typical of the permanent camps in Yellowstone, is much 
 more than a camp; it is a village of cozy bungalows, floored and wainscoted with 
 wood to a height of four feet, walled with canvas, completely screened, and roofed 
 with asbestos. The bungalows, which are electric-lighted and heated by wood- 
 burning stoves, are of one, two, and four-room capacity. There are social assem- 
 bly halls, and dining halls where wholesome food is served in family style. 
 
 Both hotel and camp in Upper Geyser Basin are in the immediate vicinity of 
 Old Faithful, with other great geysers but short distances away. 
 
 At the northern end of Yellowstone Lake are Lake Hotel and Camp. 
 
 Grand Canyon Hotel, near the Grand Canyon and Great Falls, is one of the 
 finest of resort hotels. Handsome in design, impressive in size, its appointments 
 and service are of exceptionally high standard. A feature of the hostelry is the 
 Lounge, a beautiful social chamber, 200 feet long, 100 feet wide, and enclosed by 
 an unbroken series of windows. Canyon Camp is on the south rim of Grand Can- 
 yon, immediately east of the Great Falls. 
 
 Camp Roosevelt, near Tower Fall, is in a region where exceptional oppor- 
 tunities for fishing and observing wild life may be had. It is the starting point 
 for the fossil forests, the buffalo ranch, and the Grasshopper Glacier. 
 
 At Mammoth Hot Springs both hotel and camp are adjacent to the Terraces, 
 and other scenic features of the locality.

 Both hotels and camps furnish free guide service to the chief phenomena in the 
 immediate vicinity. Dances and other amusements are frequently provided in the 
 evening. Outdoor diversions are featured at the camps, where a blazing camp 
 fire is followed by impromptu entertainments. Books, candy, postage stamps, 
 camera films, souvenirs, etc.. may be purchased. Bathing pools are located at 
 Mammoth Hot Springs and Upper Geyser Basin. Horses and guides may be hired. 
 
 
 Automobile Transportation 
 
 The Yellowstone Park Transportation Company, under contract from and 
 supervised by the Federal Government, operates automobiles on regular schedules 
 from West Yellowstone, Montana (connecting with the Union Pacific System's 
 "Yellowstone Special") and other entrances to all hotels and camps and to the 
 principal scenic points in the Park. 
 
 The transportation equipment consists of powerful eleven-passenger auto*- 
 mobiles, with removable tops, and designed especially for Yellowstone Park service. 
 Driven by experienced chauffeurs, they run along the smooth roads in accordance 
 with convenient time tables; stop-overs may be had at any point where accommoda- 
 tions are obtainable. 
 
 Six-passenger touring cars for special trips may be engaged by personal arrange- 
 ment with the transportation company at $6.00 an hour. All transportation 
 charges are fixed by the Government.

 Trails and Side Trips 
 
 Delightful and comprehensive as is the regular automobile trip through the 
 \ellowstone the visitor who has enjoyed it need not suppose he has seen all that 
 the 3,348 square miles of the Park have to offer. Other motor trips of absorbing 
 interest may be made and there are several hundred miles of trails leading to lakes 
 and streams populous with hungry fish; to the secluded haunt of buffalo, moose, 
 and elk; to picturesque geological formations, strange old mining villages, and 
 little known peaks and glaciers. For the more ambitious trail trips, guides are 
 desirable. Those, however, who wish to dispense with the services of a guide should 
 consult the Superintendent's office or the nearest Park Ranger before starting, and 
 should procure and study an accurate map. 
 
 Saddle and pack horses may be hired at West Yellowstone and at hotels and 
 camps at Upper Geyser Basin, Grand Canyon, Mammoth Hot Springs, and at 
 Camp Roosevelt; the rate is $3.50 a day; or, 31-00 for the first hour and 50 cents 
 for each subsequent hour. Mounted guides may be engaged for $5.00 a day. 
 
 The Way to Yellowstone Park Union Pacific 
 
 YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK is, of course, unique among the won- 
 ders of the world, but to go there via the Union Pacific adds much to its enjoyment. 
 The scenes along the Union Pacific are varied beautiful, sublime, often highly 
 thrilling, and always full of interest. The train accommodations offer all that can 
 be desired for personal comfort, and the roadway is a masterpiece of engineering.

YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK 
 
 Obsidian Cliff 
 Morning-Glory Spring 
 
 Ninety-two per cent of the road between Omaha and Ogden is double track, and 
 all of it is ballasted to extraordinary smoothness with dustless Sherman gravel and 
 protected by automatic safety signals; handsome new dining cars provide excellent 
 meals a la carte at reasonable cost. 
 
 The Union Pacific operates fast through trains from Chicago, via Omaha, to 
 Ogden and Salt Lake City and from St. Louis, via Kansas City and Denver. Connec- 
 tions are made at Ogden or Salt Lake City with the noted "Yellowstone Special" 
 operated during the season specifically for travelers to Yellowstone National Park. 
 This train, with observation and standard sleeping cars, leaves Salt Lake City and 
 Ogden every evening and reaches West Yellowstone, Mont., in time for breakfast 
 next morning. (According to Government statistics West Yellowstone is the 
 gateway through which most visitors enter the Park each year.) Big, high-powered 
 automobiles meet each "Yellowstone Special" and run quickly to Old Faithful Inn 
 and Camp, in the greatest of the Geyser Basins. 
 
 Denver may be visited without additional rail transportation cost. Denver is 
 the gateway to scores of picturesque resort regions in the Colorado Rockies, includ- 
 ing Rocky Mountain National (Estes) Park and the Colorado National Forests, 
 all of which may easily be combined with the Yellowstone Park tour. 
 
 Through Wyoming and over the Continental Divide there is a continual suc- 
 cession of impressive panoramas. In Echo and Weber Canyons, through which 
 the Union Pacific crosses the Wasatch Mountains, the deep winding gorges lie 
 4,000 feet below the enclosing peaks.

 Free side trip Ogden to Salt Lake City and return, with stop-over will be 
 granted on round trip tickets to Yellowstone Park reading Union Pacific System 
 from Cheyenne, Denver or points east or south thereof, also on Trans-Continental 
 tickets via Union Pacific between Cheyenne, Denver or points east or south thereof 
 and points beyond Pocatello, Ogden, or Salt Lake City, on which side trip, Ogden 
 to West Yellowstone, is obtained. Side trip tickets may be obtained from Union 
 Pacific ticket agents at Ogden or West Yellowstone or from conductors on trains 
 into Ogden. 
 
 Salt Lake City is a city of marked charm and individuality, at the base of 
 the Wasatch Mountains; the chief features of interest are the Mormon Temple 
 and the Tabernacle (free recitals on the superb organ are given daily except 
 Sunday), the Deseret Museum, and Great Salt Lake. No one should miss bathing 
 in the unbelievably buoyant waters of the lake at Saltair Beach, reached by fast 
 electric cars. A few miles from Ogden is Ogden Canyon, a deep, precipitous and 
 romantic gorge connected with the city by electric cars.

 Tickets to Yellowstone Park 
 
 During the Park season, round-trip excursion 
 tickets at reduced fares are sold at practically all 
 stations in the United States and Canada to West 
 Yellowstone, Mont., as a destination. Such 
 tickets reading via Union Pacific from eastern 
 cities will, upon request, be honored by way of 
 Denver without extra charge, thus affording an 
 opportunity to visit Rocky Mountain National 
 Park. From East, Middle West, and South, 
 round-trip excursion tickets may be routed so that 
 passenger may enter the Park at West Yellowstone 
 and depart from either of the other two entrances. 
 
 Coupons covering automobile transportation 
 and accommodations at the hotels or permanent 
 camps for the "Four and One-half Day" tour of 
 the Park may be included in railroad tickets at 
 authorized additional charges, which are the same 
 as those in effect at the Park. While the "Four 
 and One-half Day" tour is the one generally sold 
 in connection with through railroad tickets, it is 
 not intended to limit the visit to that short period; 
 stop-overs may be arranged at any hotel or camp 
 by payment of the authorized daily or weekly 
 rates. Stay as long as you like. 
 
 Yellowstone Park as a Side-Trip 
 
 Passengers desiring to visit Yellowstone Na- 
 tional Park as a side -trip in connection with 
 journeys to other destinations may obtain stop- 
 over privileges on both one-way and round-trip

 What to Wear 
 
 Warm clothing should be worn, and one should 
 be prepared for the sudden changes of temperature 
 common at an altitude of 7,500 feet. Men should 
 have medium weight overcoats, jackets, or 
 sweaters. Riding breeches and puttees have be- 
 come popular with both men and women, and are 
 very sensible garments for those energetic persons 
 who like to climb, ride, and tramp. Linen dusters 
 are essential; they may be purchased in the Park. 
 Stout shoes are desirable as they are best suited 
 for walking about the geysers and terraces, and 
 for mountain use. Tinted glasses and serviceable 
 gloves should be a part of the traveler's outfit, 
 and a pair of field or opera glasses will be found 
 useful. 
 
 Women Tourists 
 
 Fully 60 per cent of the Park visitors are women 
 and many of them travel unescorted. There are 
 competent women attendants at the hotels and 
 camps whose special duty is to look after the 
 welfare of women and contribute to their comfort 
 and enjoyment. 
 
 Baggage 
 
 The Yellowstone Park Transportation Company 
 will carry free, not to exceed twenty-five pounds of 
 hand baggage, for each passenger. Trunks cannot 
 be carried in the automobiles. Tourists contem- 
 plating prolonged trips through the Park can 
 arrange with representatives of the Transportation 
 Company at any of the gateways for the trans- 
 portation of trunks. 
 
 Storage charges for baggage will be waived by 
 the Union Pacific System at West Yellowstone 
 Station, Pocatello, Idaho Falls, Ogden, Salt Lake 
 City, for actual length of time consumed by 
 passengers in making Park trip. Baggage may be 
 checked to West Yellowstone and passengers 
 entering the Park via one station and leaving via 
 another station will find certain regulations for 
 
 free checking of baggage to station whence they 
 leave the Park. 
 
 Mail and Telegrams 
 
 Mail and telegrams should be addressed to the 
 gateway at which the addressee will leave the 
 Park, viz: At West Yellowstone station, Mont., 
 or Gardiner, Mont., in care of the Yellowstone 
 Hotel Co., or Yellowstone Camps Co. (which ever 
 patronized); at Cody, Wyo., in care of Yellowstone 
 Park Transportation Company. 
 
 Bring Your Camera 
 
 Nowhere will you find greater opportunities 
 for effective use of your camera than in Yellow- 
 stone. Hunting with gun is prohibited, but with 
 the camera it is encouraged and the field is un- 
 limited. Photographic supplies can be obtained 
 at hotels and camps. 
 
 Medical Facilities 
 
 A resident physician is stationed at Mammoth 
 Hot Springs, and each hotel and camp has a 
 trained nurse and a dispensary. 
 
 Bath Houses 
 
 Natural hot-water bathing pools are maintained 
 at Upper Geyser Basin and Mammoth Hot 
 Springs. Rates, 50 cents in large pool; 31-00 in 
 private pool. 
 
 Park Administration 
 
 Yellowstone National Park is under the juris- 
 diction of the Director, National Park Service, 
 Department of the Interior, Washington, D. C. 
 The Park Superintendent is located at Mammoth 
 Hot Springs. 
 
 Personally Conducted Saddle and 
 Pack Trips Off the Beaten Paths 
 
 A most enjoyable way of seeing Yellowstone 
 National Park is to join an all-expense horseback 
 camping party conducted by experienced guides 
 authorized by the Government to escort such 
 excursions. The names and addresses of the 
 licensees and other information concerning these 
 "Roughing-it-in-comfort" trips may be obtained 
 from National Park Service, Washington, D. C., 
 the Superintendent of the Park, or from any rail- 
 road representative listed on page 31.
