THE LAND OF WONDERS THE Yellowstone National Park is the largest and most widely celebrated of our national parks. It is a wooded wilderness of over thirty-four hundred square miles. It contains more geysers than are found in the rest of the world together. It has innumerable boiling springs whose steam mingles with the clouds. It has many rushing rivers and large lakes. It has waterfalls of great eight and large volume. It has fishing waters unexcelled. It has canyons of sublimity, one of which presents a spectacle of broken color unequaled. It has areas of petrified forests with trunks standing. It has innumerable wild animals which have ceased unduly to fear man; in fact, it is unique as a bird and animal sanctuary. It has several great hotels and lodges, and also many free public automobile camp grounds. It has a good road system. In short, it is not only the wonderland that common report describes; it is a fitting playground and pleasure resort of a great people; it is also an ideal summer school of nature study.
