The setting is heavily forested and mountainous, located on Grinnell Creek near its confluence with the North Fork of the Shoshone River, about 6 miles from the east entrance into Yellowstone National Park. The 32 buildings and structures (24 buildings of which are contributing) are laid out in typical rustic dude ranch style: a centrally located grand lodge surrounded by guest cabins and support buildings. Construction materials are primarily wood (log or board and batten) with stone and concrete foundations. The contributing buildings and structures evolved over a period of years from 1924 to 1950, with minimal remodeling to accommodate plumbing and mechanical updates. They have historic integrity of design, materials, workmanship, feeling and association with early Western dude ranching. The Shoshone Lodge is the most intact of the dude ranches in this multiple property nomination. Detailed Description The beautiful
