Hotels
All service is under the supervision of the Government and is maintained at a high standard at rates fixed by the Government.
Each hotel is individual in character and architecture, completely and modernly equipped.
Old Faithful Inn is a striking structure of logs and stone. Its unusual lobby is 75 feet square and 92 feet high to the peak of the roof, with balconies around three sides.
Old Faithful Geyser is nearby the Inn, and not far away are many other geysers too numerous to mention here.
The Canyon Hotel, one of the finest hotels in the country with every comfort and convenience, is particularly well known for its spacious and beautiful plate-glass enclosed lounge. It has a wonderful setting high up on one side of Yellowstone Canyon, not far from the Lower Falls.
Mammoth Hot Springs hotel is most modern in style and appointments.
The Climate
Far from the least attraction of an invigorating outing is the climate. An average elevation of 8,000 feet brings a clear and bracing atmosphere. Hot mineral baths and outdoor sleeping, best of Nature’s medicines, may be enjoyed throughout the season. During the tourist season the mean average temperature ranges from 54° to 64° with a maximum of 88°. There is little choice as to the best time for visiting the Park. Early summer finds more snow in the mountains; August and September bring floral decorations in all their beauty and charm.
