This brief summary is a far from complete outline of what may be seen and done in Yellowstone. You might profitably spend an entire summer within the confines of the Park or—as many do—come back repeatedly.
Wild Life in Abundance
Yellowstone is a great wild animal refuge where the game is protected and therefore quite unafraid of humans. You will see dozens and dozens of the famous bears whose clumsy antics are an unfailing source of amusement. Among them is the grizzly bear, rightfully the most respected of all the wild animals. In meeting bears on the roads and paths, never tease the animals with food.
Almost anywhere in the Park you may catch glimpses of deer, and perhaps of buffalo, antelope, elk and mountain sheep as well as smaller animals such as marmots, beaver and chipmunks. You will have ample opportunity to take short walking trips. You can fish and swim; join community singing around huge campfires; listen to lectures on the geology and animal life of the Park; see informal entertainments by the boys and girls who staff the lodges and hotels; join in the fun of informal dances.
Whether you have little time or much, no finer vacation spot exists than magnificent, incredible Yellowstone. Boundless in wonders and in hospitality, this is your Park, your playground ... the magic land where dreams come true.
Almost like man-made rice fields are these dikes and terraces engineered by nature from minerals carried in the waters of the hot springs.
