YELLOWSTONE PARK 
 
 Yellowstone Park is situated in the northwest corner of Wyoming on the crest of the Rocky Mountains, the water-shed of the Continent; 
 its boundaries overlapping a few miles into Montana on the north, and Montana and Idaho on the west. Three of the largest rivers of North 
 America have their sources in Yellowstone Park : the Colorado, the Columbia, and the Missouri. The name "Yellowstone" originated, 
 undoubtedly, with the Indians, from the yellow clitTs of the Grand Canyon, as it was translated "Roche Jaune" (Yellow Rocki by early 
 French traders, and mentioned by Lewis &. Clark, in 1805, as "Yellow-stone." 
 
 In 1872, by Act of Congress, Yellowstone Park was set aside as a National resort and pleasure ground. The reservation is 55 miles 
 east and west, by 65 miles north and south, embracing nearly three million acres. There is also a Timber reserve on the east, south and 
 northwest. The U. S. Engineer Road Department has constructed substantial roads and bridges to all points of interest. A Cavalry Post 
 (Fort Yellowstone) has been established, the commanding officer being Superintendent of the Park ; detachments are scattered throughout the 
 reservation for its protection. Rules and regulations are published, by the Hon. Secretary of the Interior, for the guidance of visitors. There 
 is also a Government Weather Bureau Station, and U. S Post Office, the ofTicial Post Office name being Yellowstone Park, Wyo. There are 
 over 200 miles of Trout streams in the Park, stocked by the U. S. Fish Commission with four or five varieties, and with but few restrictions 
 put upon the angler. Thousands of Elk, Deer, Mountain Sheep, Antelope, Buffalo. Bear and smaller animals, and myriads of Birds and 
 ^A'ater fowl have the government protection, as hunting is strictly prohibited. 
 
 The elevation of the Park is from 6,000 to 8,000 feet above sea level, while many of the snow-clad peaks, within and adjacent to the 
 Park, rise to an altitude of 10,000 to 14,000 feet. Yellowstone Lake, 20x30 miles in size, is the largest body of water in North America at this 
 altitude, 8,000 feet. The Geysers of Yellowstone Park outclass anything of the kind in the world. There are over fifty active Geysers that 
 throw columns of scalding water to a height of 50 to 250 feet, at intervals varying from one hour to fourteen days. The Grand Canyon of the 
 Yellowstone, 1.500 feet deep, and 10 miles long, is the most brilliantly colored landscape in existence. Beautifully colored pools, basins, and 
 terraces, mountains of sulphur, and volcanic glass, stupendous waterfalls, interspersed with valleys, mountains, rivers, and thousands of natural 
 curiosities, characterize Yellowstone Park as rhe Wonderland of the World. 
 
 There are two Railway entrances to the Park : the northern from the Northern Pacific Ry., at Gardiner, Mont., and the western, from 
 the Oregon Short Line and the Union Pacific Railroads i north of Salt Lake City and Ogden), at Yellowstone. Concord Coach lines are in 
 operation through both entrances to all points in the Park during the season, June. July, August, and September. Modern hotels have been 
 constructed at the chief points of interest : Upper Geyser Basin, Grand Canyon, Yellowstone Lake, Fountain or Lower Geyser Basin, 
 Mammoth Hot Springs, and Norris Geyser Basin. Many residents of the surrounding country make camping trips through the Park, and 
 permanent camps are established at various places. The tour of the Park is about 150 miles, and requires six to seven days to make the 
 entire circuit, while one can enjoyably spend a month to advantage.
