128 BOOK OF A HUNDRED BEARS 



all the geysers, and the inn the most celebrated 

 of the Park hotels. Justly so, but something of 

 this is due to their accessibility. You may leave 

 Ogden at night, be in the Park the next morning, 

 where a short day's drive sets you down at the 

 inn. There, in one day, you can see the whole 

 basin, for all these wonders are within easy walking 

 distance from the hotel; see within that one day's 

 time more marvels than any other region in the 

 world holds in one place, return to the railroad in 

 time for the night train, and be gone but three 

 days. In short, you can break your Overland 

 trip at Ogden, and in three easy days get a very 

 fair idea of the Park, learn all about geysers, see 

 the bears, and have enough to brag about for a 

 year. I do not recommend this short trip, unless 

 you are too busy to take a longer one; but it is one 

 of the gratifying things about the Park, set apart 

 as it is for the use and enjoyment of all the people, 

 that it can be reached so easily, comfortably, and 

 cheaply. In fact, there is no other trip, that I 

 know of, that the people of this countr}^ can take 

 and see so much for so little money and in so short 

 a time.
