Union Pacific serves West Yellowstone, Montana, directly on the Park’s western boundary, and during the Park season operates through sleeping cars from the East direct to West Yellowstone.
During the Park season, also, round trip tickets are sold at nearly all stations in the United States and Canada to West Yellowstone, Montana, or to Victor, Idaho; or, going to West Yellowstone and returning from Victor, or the reverse.
From any place in the United States tickets may be routed so passengers enter the Park at West Yellowstone and depart from Victor, Idaho, Gardiner, Gallatin or Red Lodge, Mont., or Cody, Wyo.—other gateways to the Park.
Traveling Union Pacific to West Yellowstone from the East one can include stopovers at Denver, Ogden and Salt Lake City.
Yellowstone is also a pleasurable side trip from Salt Lake City, Ogden, or Pocatello for travelers to or from the Pacific Coast.

GENERAL INFORMATION
NATIONAL PARK SERVICE—The National Park Service, U. S. Department of the Interior, has full jurisdiction over Yellowstone National Park and is represented by a resident Superintendent, whose headquarters are at Mammoth Hot Springs. The National Park Service, of which The Honorable Newton B. Drury is Director, has jurisdiction over all national parks.
WHAT TO WEAR—Warm clothing should be worn, and one should be prepared for the sudden changes of temperature common at an altitude of 7,500 feet. Visitors should have medium weight overcoats, jackets, “windbreakers” or sweaters. Stout outing shoes are best suited for walking about the geyser formations and terraces, and for mountain use. Women’s ordinary street shoes are not well adapted for these walks. Tinted glasses, serviceable gloves and a pair of field or opera glasses will be found useful.
