YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK 



403 



lowstone National Park this year, coming by rail or by 

 automobile, planning to use their own equipment and 

 camp out in the forests, or to tarry a while at the hotels 

 or permanent camps. Never has the great Park been 

 better prepared to receive its friends. Its three hun- 

 dred miles of road are in excellent condition, there are 

 more and better trails than ever before a thousand 

 miles of them, the public camp grounds have been exten- 

 sively improved, the permanent camps have largely aug- 

 mented their facilities, and likewise the hotels are equip- 

 ped to accommodate more guests than at any time in 

 the past. Railroad rates are very reasonable this year. 

 Plan a horseback tour of the Yellowstone and see 

 the wild life at close range, the buffalo, elk, deer, ante- 

 lope, moose and beaver; go into the recently explored 

 "Cascade Corner" of the Park, or to Grasshopper Glacier 

 where millions of grasshoppers of ancient species lie im- 

 bedded in a body of ice of enormous proportions ; or ride 

 to the moose country at the headwaters of the Yellow- 

 stone. Saddle horses and guides are available in the 

 Park or at nearby "dude ranches." 



For the fisherman, the Yellowstone offers great sport. 

 Here the native cutthroat trout abounds, also the native 

 grayling, but Brook, Rainbow, Loch Leven, Mackinaw 

 and other trouts planted in Yellowstone .waters also, 

 furnish snappy recreation for the angler. 



From the standpoint of opportunities to study Na- 

 ture's handiwork, the Yellowstone has no equal or close 

 competitor. Geysers, hot spring terraces, the Grand 

 Canyon, petrified forests, lakes, rivers, waterfalls, un- 

 broken forest wilderness, wild animals, 202 varieties of 

 birds, exquisite wild flower displays, glaciated valleys 

 and lava flows, are all easily accessible. Here Nature 

 is still working vigorously while exhibiting a wide range 

 of wonderful achievements. The Park has a museum, 

 a lecturer on its history and natural features, and na- 

 ture guides to explain in popular language the meaning 

 of the phenomena that are to be observed on every hand. 



Whether one visits Yellowstone National Park to find 

 seclusion in the fastness of our last great wilderness, 

 or to ride horseback over its thrilling trails, or to study
