“ There is a hotel, thoroughly modern, at each important place for sightseeing in the park. These hotels are all steam heated, electric lighted, and are supplied with barbers, bath, etc. Two of them, Old Faithful Inn at Upper geyser basin and the Colonial hotel at Yellowstone lake, are new and unusually attractive. ”

“ There are 3,000 or more hot springs, about 100 geysers, nearly 30 waterfalls, 100 prominent named mountain peaks, ranging from 6,500 to more than 11,000 feet in altitude, more than 40 lakes, 150 streams having names, with many cañons, valleys, and other physical features of interest. ”
