  • Yellowstone National Park! Renowned Snowcapped Eagle Peak
    YELLOWSTONE THE FIRST NATIONAL PARK THE HISTORY BEHIND YELLOWSTONE Long before herds of tourists and automobiles crisscrossed Yellowstone’s rare landscape, the unique features comprising the region lured in the West’s early inhabitants, explorers, pioneers, and entrepreneurs. Their stories helped fashion Yellowstone into what it is today and initiated the birth of America’s National Park System. Native Americans As early as 10,000 years ago, ancient inhabitants dwelled in northwest Wyoming. These small bands of nomadic hunters wandered the country- side, hunting the massive herds of bison and gath- ering seeds and berries. During their seasonal travels, these predecessors of today’s Native American tribes stumbled upon Yellowstone and its abundant wildlife. Archaeologists have discov- ered domestic utensils, stone tools, and arrow- heads indicating that these ancient peoples were the first humans to discover Yellowstone and its many wonders. As the region’s climate warmed and horses Great Fountain Geyser. NPS Photo by William S. Keller were introduced to American Indian tribes in the 1600s, Native American visits to Yellowstone became more frequent.

Its arching column of water is thrown into the Fireholc River Page two An Appreciation of Yellowstone National Park By EMERSON HOUGH Author oj "<CTic Mississippi Bubble" "54-40 or Fight" "'Che Way to the West," etc. Written Especially for the United States Railroad Administration FTER every war there comes a day of diligence. Usually war is followed by a rush of soldiers back to the soil. We have 3,000,000 soldiers, a large per cent of whom are seeking farms. This means the early use of every reclaimable acre of American soil. 11 means that the wildernesses of America soon will be no more. Our great National Parks are sections of the old American wilder­ ness preserved practically unchanged. They are as valuable, acre for acre, as the richest farm lands. They feed the spirit, the soul, the character of America. Who can measure the value, even to-day, of a great national reserve such as the Yellowstone Park? In twenty years it will be beyond all price, for in twenty years we shall have no wild America. The old days are gone forever. Their memories are ours personally. We ought personally to understand, to know, to prize and cherish them. Of all the National Parks Yellowstone is the wildest and most universal in its appeal. There is more to see there—more different sorts of things, more natural wonders, more strange and curious things, more scope, more variety—a longer list of astonishing sights—than any half dozen of the other parks combined could offer.

They do not always know what to call it; they say “Old Faithful Lodge” more often than not. Yet it is the lodging facility in Yellowstone that everyone seems to know.

  • Times Colonist (Online) – September 19, 2015 – Page 1
    Most days, in most ways, this park’s Upper Geyser Basin is a geothermal outlaw biker beach party — belching and splashing at all hours, with a sulfuric whiff of menace riding the breeze. But in one patch of boiling mud, about 17 times a day, the bubbling becomes something bigger. Heated to 93 C or more, the water and steam rise 15, 30 metres and beyond into the vast Wyoming sky. If it’s a summer day, the surrounding boardwalk and benches will be teeming with travellers from Chicago, China and thousands of other places where mud doesn’t bubble. As the splashes grow, so do the oohs and ahhs. Sometimes Old Faithful blows for just 90 seconds, sometimes for a full five minutes. Either way, it’s one of the most thrilling scenes in North America. There’s no telling what fiery volcanic catastrophe might someday erupt in Yellowstone, but for now, this geyser masks that menace as a charming little ritual, a family photo op. That’s part of Yellowstone’s appeal. Its beasts and geothermal wonders could kill you or bury several states in ash. But in the meantime, they’re beautiful. And — except for the bison that dawdle in the middle of Grand Loop Road — they usually don’t stand still. Two black bear cubs scamper behind their mother across a meadow near Roosevelt Lodge. A rainbow flickers above the Lower Falls in the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone. Steam billows from Chinese Spring as dusk falls on a cold, windy day. In late July, I spent four days among these iconic scenes with Los Angeles Times photographer Mark Boster.

  • Yellowstone National Park
    YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK VIA GALLATIN GATEWAY So you're going to Yellowstone-the oldest, greatest and grandest of our national parks! Unless you are one of the thousands who regularly revisit this wonderland, you can have no real conception of the travel adventure that lies before you. And so, in this book, we will briefly sketch the history of the Park, and point out the highlights of the regular three-and­ one-half day tour. Chance turned the footsteps of the first white man toward Yellowstone. In 1807, John Colter, a member of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, was wounded in an Indian battle near Jackson Hole. In escaping, he journeyed northward and pene­ trated Yellowstone as far as what is now known as Tower Falls. More than twenty years later, Jim Bridger, a famous frontier guide, also entered the region that had come to be known as "Colter's Hell" and verified the fantastic tales of his prede­ cessor. But even then, no one accepted the story. Colter and Bridger were in the position of Marco Polo who had discovered an empire so strange that its very existence was doubted. Not until 1870, when a public exploring party made a thorough study of the region, were its wonders accepted as fact. Then, action quickly followed. In 1872 a bill was introduced before congress and speedily passed, tbat established Yellowstone as Left-The fast-flowing Gallatin winds through lovely Gallatin Valley, Spaciousness and sunny charm are features of Gallatin Gateway Inn. the first of our national parks.
