LIVING in the YELLOWSTONE

THE park has entrances on all four sides. All have railroad connections; the southern entrance, by way of Jackson Hole and past the jagged snowy Tetons, has three approach roads. The roads from all entrances enter a central belt road which makes a large circuit connecting places of special interest.

Four large hotels are located at points convenient for seeing the sights and are supplemented by lodges at modest prices.

But the day of the unhurried visitor has dawned. If you want to enjoy your Yellowstone—if, indeed, you want even to see it—you should make your minimum twice five days; two weeks is better; a month is ideal.

Spend the additional time at the canyon and on the trails. See the lake and the pelicans. Fish in Shoshone Lake. Climb Mount Washburn. Spend a day at Tower Falls. See Mammoth Hot Springs. Hunt wild animals with a camera. Stay with the wilderness and it will repay you a thousandfold. Fish a little, study nature in her myriad wealth—and live.

The Yellowstone National Park is ideal for camping out. When people realize this it should quickly become one of the most lived in, as it already is one of the most livable, of all our national parks.
