Yellowstone, National Park
Dear Favorite:
Your request for a write-up of my
recent trip through the Yellowstone
National Park received. I wish I had
the ability to describe the beauties
and wonders of th.s great tract of
land that is the home of the boiling
geysers, the mountains whose peaks
are always capped with snow, and
great canyons, seemingly cut by the
waters of countless generations. |
This wonder-land fills the visitor'
with awe, with admiration, and pre-
sents to him the beauties of n£t]>re in
a way that he has never seen them
before. “This Garden of the Gods”—
so to speak, - "The place where the
wild beasts are not afraid of the ter-
ror by night, nor for the arrow that
fliet,h by day,” where the birds of the
forest seek the company of the man
and sing to him. their sweetest songs;
the land where the waters of the
great Yellov.xtene, clear as a ci
the crowd. I never saw as large a1
corn popper in my life. The'handles
was about ten feet long.
■' Every evening after supper the
crowds would go down in the woods,,
'about a mile or more away, to the
I bear feeding camp. This was ths
; place where the camps and hotels
[cart away their garbage. Just about
I nightfall the bears would go there and
eat. It was a great sight. Nothing'
| between you and those wild beasts but |
a log'about a foot high—just a sug-1
gestion to you that it was unsafe to
get closer. One night as I sat under
a big pine tree watching those black
fellows feeding I spied one coming
right straight to me. I wasn’t a bit
afraid even-- though' he got pretty |

think that some great underground
factories were in operation, and that
these holes, and streams of water
were vents forthe escaping steam.
The park is said to contain about 400
hot and boiling springs. There are
also many cold spring's, and sometimes
the hot and the cold spring will be
within a few feet of each other.
Some of the springs flow with mineral
water—some of the water is good to
drink and some is not.
Then you Will find prismatic pools
by the scores in the Park. Some of
the pools present q to view the most
beautiful colors that you could find in
i nature. There is one pool called the
Morning Glojy, about 20 feet In diam-
eter, as clear as a crystal, that ia
steaming hot, and it resembles the
i flower for which it is named. As you
gaze into this pool you are filled with
Jamaement as you look into the deep

/ seems to want to put one in, and
they all come. park. In admiration you
continue your search for the wonders
of nature, and you come back to th<
Punch Bowl in the Upper Geyser
Basin. This pool is about ten feet in
diameter and its- continued overflow
has created a rim or edge in the
shape of .a cup or bowl about ten
feet high. The. edges of the bowl
are highly colored. This coloring ev
ideqtly came of the different under-
ground fo.-rations through which the
boiling waters of the great springs
reached t’.c surface. Near the Punch
Bowl will be found the • Black Sand
and Sunset basins, forming a trinity
of pools rarr ly seen in this wonder-
land. Then we find~the paint Pot.'.
These formations remind you 1 ol

are of many colors, jand in some
plac.s they are fenced off to prevent"

be mushy and ready'to give way t<
the slightest weight. Then there is

The next thing
we did not go to the top.
There is located in the Park one
the most beautiful lakes to
found any where in America. It
one of the largest lakes at its altitude,
being about one and a half miles
above sea level. It is about 20 miles
long and its surface covers about 139
square hiiles. The fisherman who vis-
its the Park has a hard time getting
by this wonderful lake. The roaring,!
rushing Yellowstone river is where
the trout challenge the fisherman's
best skill. The Madison river which I
is said to be, along with the Firehole
and Gibbon rivers, the trouts’ para-
dise. We saw fishermen in these riv-
ers standing waist deep in the waters
mat-ehirrg their wits with the finnv
ti ibe. The government permits fish-
ing, but nd hunting, no guns. You
never hear the sqund of a firearm n

It is said there are *6me*00 differ-
ent species of birds, and they all se?m.
to be there. They are net afraid of|*J-
man because they seem to have un- ♦ *
derstood Unch Sam’s warning to the s---
ir.u ter—“Thou shall no*.” Wild am- ggg
mals abound in great numbers in the
park. There are some 30,000 elk in
the Park and they spend the spring
and summer on the-Mountain* above
the timber line. There are two great
herds of Buffalo in the Park, ee.ch with
ibout 400 head. One herd ranges up
the Lamar Riverland the other ranges!
between the Lamar River and ‘h? Yel-
lowstone Lake.. We saw a number of
ih^se./‘Indian cattle.” . |
There are now many hears in the
Park, and we had the pleasure of s e-1
ing 27 on different occasions. l"i<
black and cinnamon bears are the I
kinds most frequently seen, but the
grizzly comes into vjew quite often,
and he is certainly treated with a
great deal of rsspect by al! other
kinds of bears. He is the “king" of
the bear tribe there. The hears come
around the camp every day, and some
come right into the crowd, and will
eat all the sweets you can furnish him.
We are told that it was danger-iqj
for any one to try to feed the bear
out of their hands—some tried it to
their sorrow.
Yellowstone Park is open to the
tourist from June 20th to Sept. 15th
each year. The-extreme cold pre rents
an earlier nr longer stay. The paik.
is in charge of Rangers and has four
entrances, as follows: West Yelloiv-
stohe, Gardiner, Moran and Cody.'
There are no railways in the park, ind
the only way to get over the Park is-
by the stage-coach or automobi'e. The
Yellowstone Parks Camps Company
meets all trains at the different en-
'rances and looks after the need* of
the tourisst.
Perhaps it would be Intoepstir.g to
know just how the journey through j
the park is made. Upon, arrival at.
West Yellowstone entrance we regis-i
tered, the same as we would at •» ho-
tel, and paid our fare, $45 each for'
the entire trip which provided fbr the
conveyance, meals, and camp aceom-1
modations. The trip required about
five days. Big busses holding abou^
15 people are used for the convey-1
ances. Of course the tops are all
down so that the traveler can see.)
When the busses are being loaded for,
the trip the manager calls the names
of all who are to go In each bus.
Your baggage is taken care of and
is placed in the baggage department-
of your bus. Now there are four!
great camps, and at or near each
camp is a hotel. Ttieic Is nd differ-1
ence in the mode of travel, no differ-1
ence in the time, or in the treatment
of passenger, but some folks who like
to dress up, go to these hotels. We
took the caqip trip. These* big camps (
are all ip charge of high class men
and women. About 50 young men and
women work in these camps, snd are
nearly all university and coll*g* folks.

I beautiful formation in the Park, be-
cause <>f its magnitude, is the Jupiter
Terrace. These terraces are. of calca-
ius origin and growth has been rather
slow in the ages past It is perhaps
more than one hundred feet high, and
about fouchundred feet long. These
terraces are’beyond description. Clear
steaming water flows over the terrac-
es constantly. The terraces are white
' resembling boiling snow-clouds, green
yellow, red and orange, etc. The top
of the terraces are flat, and on this
mountain of incrustations about four
hundred by four feet has on its top a
small lake or emerald pool clear as
crystal. Boiling? Yes, all of these
pools boil, and the steam that comes
from them strikes you in the face
like the stream from a cooking stove
in the summer.
I could go on for pages and tell of
i the many different geysers, pools,
springs, etc., but perhaps I have men-
tioned enough to Show the general
formation. But, I cannot refram from
telling of one or two of the geysers.
Our first stop in the pa.k was at O
’Faithful Camp. Here we found Old
1 Faithful Geyser. This is one of the
' largest geysers in the park. It shoots
its hot stream of clear water 150 feet
into the air about every ;ixty-five
minutes. It seldom varies from this
schedule. After watching this geyser
nine times I name to the conclusion
that it was justly entitled to its name.
Therc i, within about one mile of this
—vser another that is called the
Giant It shoots it* stream about 250
feet into the air, but it erupts only
about every twelve to fourteen day*.

of all our National l arks, it is un-Go(]

i the northwestern corner of Wyoming?

. by an act offCongress in 1872 for “the
' perpetual enjoyment of. the people,”
! however it was first visited by an in-
I trepid trapper John Colter in 1807.
I Colter told of the beauties and won-
ders of the land but.no one believed
him. It is about 62 miles long, and
! about 54 miles wide. It has an area
of 3348 square miles. Its physical
appearance is that of a volcanic pla-

8,000 feet above sea level, K is sur-
rounded by mountains ranging in
height from 10,000 to 12,000 feet
