ACCOMMODATING CAMPERS IN THE PARKS 

 Camping grounds are provided for autQmobile tourists in the Parks and they are properly policed and kept clean. This camp 

 is at Mammoth Hot Springs, in Yellowstone National Park. As many as 300 cars were parked in this camp on a single night 

 during the tourist season of 1920. 



Wm. F. Cody, better known as "Buffalo Bill." Here the 

 auto stages await us for our trip through the Park. The 

 regular four and one-half day tour costs $54 if we stop 

 at the hotels and only $45 if we stop at the big permanent 

 camps. This charge, of course, includes the motor trans- 

 portation. We have the privilege of coming in by one 

 entrance and leaving by the same entrance or leaving by 

 either of the other entrances. The Park season is from 

 June 20 to September 15. On our particular journey we 

 will leave by the northern, or Gardiner, entrance. 



From Cody the road follows through the Canyon of the 

 Shoshone River, where we view the great reclamation 

 dam and reservoir ; thence through Sylvan Pass, skirting 

 Yellowstone Lake, and on to the Grand Canyon of the 

 Yellowstone for our first night in the Park. Next day 

 our stage will carry us across to the Norris Geyser Basin, 

 through the Lower and Upper Geyser Basins to Old 

 Faithful. The third day the Continental Divide is crossed 

 and the day's journey ends at Yellowstone Lake, where 

 we may fish if we desire. The fourth day the Grand 

 Canyon is again visited and the journey to Mammoth Hot 

 Springs is made via the Dunraven Pass, or, if we desire, 

 we may cross the summit of Mount Washburn upon the 

 payment of $2 extra fare. Our last night in the Park is 



spent at Mammoth Hot Springs, where great terraces 

 have been built up by the deposition of the mineral from 

 the waters of the hot springs. The fifth day we leave 

 through the Gardiner Canyon and resume our trip by 

 rail to Glacier National Park in northwestern Montana. 

 We have the choice of going via Billings or by Helena, the 

 State capital. 



Glacier Park Station is the eastern entrance and the 

 beginning of the road to the Many Glacier Hotel on Lake 

 McDermott, 58 miles distant. One of the largest and 

 finest log hotels ever constructed cares for the Park- 

 tourists at Glacier Park Station. The Park season is 

 from June 15 to September 15. There are many wonder- 

 ful trail trips to be made in Glacier Park, for Glacier, 

 more than any other Park, is one in which the tourist, 

 who desires to really see it, must ride or hike the trails. 

 It is a rugged mountain region of unsurpassed alpine 

 character, with over 250 glacier-fed lakes of romantic 

 beauty and more than 60 small glaciers. It is, however, 

 the superb massing of its mountain peaks and its beautiful 

 lakes that mark its individuality. There are three princi- 

 pal passes from the east to the west side the Gunsight 

 Pass, Logan Pass and Swift Current Pass. At present 

 there is no road crossing through the Park, but Congress
