GEYSERLAND


Where in confusion canyons and mountains and swift running rivers with
painted banks abound, and elk and deer, buffalo and bear range through
the wilds unterrified by man and gun, and tall, straight pines in almost
unbroken forests plant their feet in a tangle of down-timber that
centuries were required to produce; where in the earth there are vents
through which roar and rush at exact intervals columns of boiling water,
sometimes more than two hundred feet high, or in which painted mud
blubbers and spurts; where pools by thousands at scalding heat boil and
murmur; where under one's feet is felt the hollow of the earth and
through hundreds of holes of unfathomable depth come deep growls of
Nature in her confinement; where dyes have been daubed in delirium on
hillsides and river's brink; where a canyon gashes the earth thousands
of feet through colors so vivid and varied that no record can write them
down; where one of the highest navigable lakes in the world washes the
feet of mountains that hold aloft the snows through every month of the
year; where the supernal and the infernal are blended in a harmony that
only Infinitude can produce, and every miracle of Creation has been
worked; where one can be lost in a wilderness as long as he will and
come face to face with almost every form of creative eccentricity--there
is _Geyserland_.




_The Way in and Out_


Yellowstone National Park is reached via the Union Pacific and its
connection, the Oregon Short Line, the New and Direct Route, over one
stem from Kansas City and Leavenworth, and over another from Council
Bluffs and Omaha. By way of the latter you cross the Missouri River over
a magnificent steel bridge and traverse the "Lane Cut Off," a splendid
illustration of modern railroad construction. If you journey over the
stem from Kansas City, your way leads through a succession of thriving
cities and towns amid the finest farming region of the West, and through
beautiful Denver, through Cheyenne, thence through Wyoming, and a
portion of Utah, to Ogden, from which point Salt Lake City, 37 miles
distant, is reached.

[Illustration: _The Cascades of the Firehole River_]

[Illustration: _Hayden Valley between Yellowstone Lake and the Falls_]

Leaving the central system of transcontinental lines, access to the Park
is had in a night by way of the Oregon Short Line Railroad from Salt
Lake City, Ogden, or Pocatello to the station, Yellowstone, Montana, at
the western border, nineteen miles from the Fountain Hotel.

All along this route are strewn stretches of delightful scenery, and
fields of rare fertility; but these things the tourist does not see--he
awakens for breakfast at Yellowstone, and an hour thereafter is
following the course of the beautiful Madison, well on his way into the
Park and to the wonders that there await him.




_The Scenery_


As a whole, the scenery of the Park is restful and satisfying. What it
lacks in the stupendous it makes up in softness of coloring and the
gentle undulations that lead gradually to the massive mountains. The
green of the pines, lightened and darkened here and there with the
shades of different species, is everywhere. The waters of the rivers are
dimmed by the shadows; the cascades have a glimmer and sparkle quite
their own, and now and then peep out in the sweeps of the distance,
little lakes that shimmer in the sun. Vagrant clouds of steam, signs of
the geysers and boiling springs, are seen all over the landscape,
especially in the early morning when a little of the night frost still
lingers in the air. Many grotesque shapes are taken on by the rocks, and
there is hardly a spring or pool that does not suggest its name by its
form. From the Lake Hotel can be seen facing skyward, the profile of a
human face so perfect it has long been called "The Sleeping Giant."
Yellowstone Lake is a marvel of beauty; the dense forest comes down to
its shores, little dots of islands sprinkle its surface, its waters are
crystal clear away into the deep, and under the kiss of the sun the face
of the sea takes on a glory altogether splendid.

_Coaching in the Park_


The stage coach, the old-fashioned one with the lofty seat for the
driver and the boot and the thorough-brace, the rocking-cradle vehicle
that served so well when civilization was beating its way westward fifty
years ago, holds the first right-of-way through the Park. Driven from
use almost everywhere else by the iron horse, it has found safe refuge
there, and neither the railways nor the automobiles can enter to oppose
it.

[Illustration: _The Mud Geyser_]

[Illustration: _A Coaching Party_]

A good half of the pleasures of the tour is found in the coaching. To
watch for the coming of the stage at the door of the Inn where the
baggage is piled, and the porters and bell boys stand expectant--to hear
the clatter of the wheels, the sound of hoofs, and to see the gaily
harnessed horses in conscious pride swing the coach gracefully under the
Porte Cochere--to be wheeled over the winding, dustless roads at ten
miles an hour behind prancing leaders and wheelers--to be garbed as you
please without thought of style or detail--to breathe air distilled
among the fragrant pines--to be touched by breezes that fan your cheek
and dishevel your hair--to be free from all care and abandon yourself to
the delights that come with the everchanging scenes that panoramic
Nature is constantly unfolding to your gaze--is to experience an
exhilaration never to be found among the busy haunts of men.

The drivers, gentlemanly and skillful, are full of information, and you
do the 158 miles from Yellowstone around the circle back to Yellowstone
with so little fatigue that you regret the trip is not longer.




_Park Regulations and Improvements_


Two companies of United States Cavalry are stationed at Fort
Yellowstone, and, during the summer detachments of these troops are
placed in different parts of the reservation. Their duties are to patrol
the Park, prevent the spreading of forest fires and the commission of
acts of vandalism. The troops have authority to make arrests for any
violation of Park regulations. Hunting is especially prohibited, and all
guns are officially sealed at the entrance to the Park.

The commanding officer at Fort Yellowstone is Acting Superintendent of
the reservation. All rules and regulations emanate from the Department
of the Interior, and printed copies of them will be found posted in all
Park Hotels.

The Government has constructed a system of macadamized roads of easy
grade throughout the Park, and these are kept sprinkled daily during the
Park season.

_The Geysers_

Nature has lavished her gifts on the region of the Yellowstone--wild
woodland, crystal rivers, gorgeous canyons and sparkling cascades--all
under the guard of mountain sentinels around whose lofty heads group
every form of cloud castle that vagrant winds can build. But of all the
wonders that God in His mysterious way has there worked to perform, none
is so strange--so startling--as the geysers.

To count them, great and small, would be like counting the stars, and to
measure in words their awful power, or picture their splendor of sparkle
and symmetry--that, no one can do. They must be seen to be appreciated,
and once seen--the memory and mystery of them will linger to the end of
the longest life. They are as different as geysers can be. There are
dead geysers--dead from bursted throats--mere boiling pools now--shaped
to resemble a variety of familiar things; with depths that the eye
cannot sound, and colors--blues, greens, purples, reds--down their deep
sides and in the wonderful tracery about their rims, so blended, so
beautiful that one may well believe that all the paints on the palette
of the Master were commingled in their decoration.

One blubbers and gurgles and grumbles awhile, and then with an angry
roar lifts a great column of mud into the air. Another steams and growls
through an orifice hundreds of feet wide in seeming angry spite that
years ago it blew out its throat and ceased to gush forever.[A] But the
geysers that most attract are the regular-timed spouting wonders--the
Giant and Giantess, Old Faithful, the Grand, the Fountain, the Castle
and others whose names mark the geography of the Park.

[A] In 1888, Excelsior, then the greatest geyser in the known world,
while playing with unusual vigor, ruptured its crater and has never
spouted since. In its former periods of activity it is said to have
raised the Firehole river seven feet in as many minutes with its waters.
(_Ed._)

[Illustration: _The Geysers in Winter_]

They are variously located in three distinct basins which are far enough
apart to give the traveler by stage a few geysers with each day's
entertainment. These basins are great wastes of a white deposition
called in Park vernacular "the formation" under which must be boiling
one of the mighty cauldrons of the earth, for one can feel under foot a
tremble, and can hear through a hundred orifices the hiss of steam and
the angry murmur of the waters below.

The coming and going of the geysers is an astonishing and awe-inspiring
spectacle, and so accurately timed and so certain to perform are they,
that no one need miss the experience. The geyser passive is a hole at
the summit of a cone. The cone rises gradually from the plane of the
formation and, ragged and deep, growls hoarsely and steams fitfully.
Thus it is a moment before its time for activity, and then comes the
geyser active. There is a loud preliminary roar and then suddenly, with
a rush and power almost terrifying, a white obelisk of scalding,
steaming water is lifted into the air sometimes 250 feet, and there held
scintillating and glistening in the sun until the play is over, when it
sinks gradually back from whence it came, and the fitful growling and
steaming begins anew.

Every geyser has a time of its own and there are thousands of them,
varying in size from the little growler that sputters and spits a
thimbleful from its tiny throat, to the Giant that three times a month
plays for ninety minutes, 250 feet high.

How old the geysers are, recorded time does not tell, but one or two of
the wise men, who are always measuring the duration of things by some
system of calculation, have determined by multiplying the deposition
from each eruption by the height of the cone, that the Giant, for
instance, has been playing some thousands of years.

If those who come and go across the land every year on pleasure bent
only knew how curious and beautiful geysers are, the National Park would
count its visitors by multitudes.

[Illustration: Old Faithful]

[Illustration: The Great Falls From Below]




[Illustration: _Old Faithful at Sunrise_]

_Old Faithful_


In imagination, lift in a symmetrical cone two hundred and fifty
thousand gallons of scalding, steaming water one hundred and fifty feet
high and hold it there three minutes; jewel the grand fountain with a
million diamonds; filter through it the hues of innumerable dancing
rainbows; commingle in confusion every sound of splash and splutter--and
you will have a faint idea of Old Faithful in action.

It is the immutable water-clock of the Yellowstone--the most perfect
illustration of geyseric phenomena--the most famous and beautiful geyser
in the whole world.

The note of the beginning of the play of the geyser is an angry growl
down deep in its throat whence almost instantly the water, in rapid
recurrent leaps, forms the stately fountain that plays for three minutes
and then slowly sinks into the earth to await its time to rise again.
Sometimes the winds unfold from its top an iridescent banner of spray;
but more often the fountain form is a perfect cone.

Old Faithful plays every seventy minutes and never disappoints. Visitors
to the Park may therefore see it under various conditions of light. In
the daytime, under the sun, it glistens and gleams with prismatic hues;
but the most enchanting hour to witness its performance is that when
night is falling--when the dusk is around it, and the last faint tints
of the sun linger in the sky. Then it is a spectre in ghostly white
standing against the sombre background of the wilderness--a sight
strange and startling and never to be forgotten.

It has long been the custom at Old Faithful Inn to flood the geyser at
night with the rays of a searchlight. Then the spectacle takes on new
features--all the rainbow hues are there, and looking through the
fountain along the sweep of light, one sees a bediamonded form more
beautiful than any ever wrought by the hands of the Ice King.

Verily, Old Faithful is one of the most wonderful presentations in all
the repertoire of Nature.




[Illustration: _The Great Falls from Point Lookout_]

_The Canyon and Falls of the Yellowstone_


The Canyon and Falls of the Yellowstone beggar description. They are
twin wonders in a Wonderland. Is there any other gorge as gorgeous as
that Canyon? With such gaiety of coloring--with such delicate and lovely
shades of yellows and reds, purples and pinks, greens and crimsons, all
commingling in harmony from the green-fringed brink, down, down the
craggy sides into sombre depths where the writhing, gleaming ribbon of
river thousands of feet below, plunges along on its winding way to the
sea?

And the falls--the drapery of the canyon--the two silvery curtains that
hang at its head--a great river pouring over a precipice and falling in
glassy sheets hundreds of feet, then ruffling and flouncing and
festooning until lost into the rainbow-hued mist at their feet.

See all this as thousands have and thousands will from "Inspiration
Point"--a rocky balcony over the gorge, with the eagle's nests below
you--or from "Artist's Point" on the other side, where Moran transferred
the glories of canyon and falls to canvas; or see it from any of the
other places where tourists love to linger and look, and you will see
the most tremendous, stupendous, alluring and altogether splendid
spectacle that Nature ever spread out for the wonder, amazement and
delight of mortal eyes.

_The Mammoth Hot Springs_


The structural features are the Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel and the
garrison of Fort Yellowstone, around which, and in the vicinity of the
springs, the landscape gardener has produced many beautiful effects.
Here are found the most remarkable terrace-building hot springs in the
world. The formation is calcareous, and the deposition by the waters has
built up through the centuries cataracts in stone of indescribable
beauty through which the paints from the earth have been mingled and
blended with a vividness of coloring and a perfection of shading that
none but the Master's hand could work.

The waters are of such extraordinary transparency that the eye can only
guess at their depth. They are held steaming and pulsating in great
over-hanging bowls, from which they gently flow down over the stony
cataracts, carving and decorating as they go. Jupiter and Pulpit
Terraces are the master-pieces of Nature here; but there are hundreds of
other curious and beautiful things to see. The drive to and from Norris
is alive with interest. It leads through the Golden Gate, and on the way
can be seen Obsidian Cliff, Roaring Mountain, Beaver and Twin Lakes and
other attractive and curious features of topography.

[Illustration: _Mammoth Hotel_]

_The Tame Wild Animals_


The animals of the Park are objects of peculiar interest. No sound of
gun or bark of dog is ever heard, and the animals, though wild, have
become so tame that they give only curious notice to tourists as they
pass. Deer, elk and bear roam at will throughout Geyserland. The red
squirrel and the chipmunk scamper along the roadway, and those furry
little bundles, the wood-chucks, flatten out on the rocks and take no
heed of your passing. It is an everyday sight to see deer and their
young by the roadside, and now and then you get a glimpse of an antlered
elk, with his family of cows, swimming the streams of the Park. So much
has been accomplished by law in robbing man of his terrors to the wild,
that all of the animals in the Park, except those that--like the
mountain lion and sheep, frequent places inaccessible to travelers--have
well-nigh lost their fears.

The bears, some of them wrapped in robes that would command a fancy
price, come down in the evening from their homes in the hills to feed
around the hotels. The after-dinner entertainment they afford to guests
is an everyday pleasure.

[Illustration: _New Grand Canon Hotel_]

_The Inns_


They happen along at the end of each day's drive--great roomy structures
alive with light and full of comfort and good cheer. And such inns they
are--generous lobbies to lounge in before old-fashioned fire-places,
with their blazing, snapping logs--beds to sleep in, clean and
restful--prettily furnished rooms--and cookery and service almost too
good to be true. To find all these things in a far-away wilderness is to
wonder what magic was worked to bring them all about.

The great inn at Mammoth has in its foreground, three hundred feet high,
the wonderful, many-, and beautifully-formed Hot Springs Terraces
which belong in the list of the water-made wonders of the Park.

One of the inns--Old Faithful--cannot be matched anywhere in the
world. It is a lofty, wide-spreading structure of logs, with a
touch of Swiss about its gables and windows. Within, the logs are
everywhere--partitions, balustrades, stair-steps, and newel posts--even
the drinking fountain is a log. It must have been a mighty task to
search the forests for all the queer forms of growth that enter into the
construction of the curious, rustic interior. And the lobby, with its
four great cheerful fireplaces--its huge corn popper--its clock and
twenty-foot pendulum, and all the log-made galleries above it--that
charms and comforts beyond the power of words to tell.

[Illustration: _Old Faithful Inn_]

The inns are located nearby the greatest marvels of the Park and their
sites have been selected to show them off with admirable skill.

From the Fountain the geysers of the lower basin can be seen at their
play.

Old Faithful Inn looks out upon a great steaming, spouting field, and
has its namesake--the glory of all the geysers--almost at its doors. So
near, indeed, is it, that all the night through, at intervals of seventy
minutes, can be heard the old monster in eruption.

On a <DW72> that sweeps gently down to the waters sits the Lake Inn. The
forest creeps down to it on three sides, and the outlook from its goodly
porches is over the broad expanse of Yellowstone Lake--one of the
highest of navigated seas, and as passive, clear and prettily
tree-trimmed a sheet of water as there is in the world. You may reach
this inn from Thumb by steamer or by coach; but if you would have two
hours of ecstacy, take the steamer. Thumb is a lunch station, and the
lunch there is a creation.

The Canyon Inn is almost on the brink of the gorge where falls the
Yellowstone. It is a duplication in excellence of the other inns, and
when you bid it good-bye it is to begin your last day's tour of the
Park. Then comes Norris, with its geysers and its awful "Black Growler,"
and a lunch that will send the tourist on his homeward way with a
grateful heart. After that--Yellowstone--and the whistle of the engine
and the waiting Pullman--your tour is ended and the Park a pleasant
memory.

_The Stage Line_

[Illustration: _Lone Star Geyser_]


The M. & Y. Stage Company, operating from Yellowstone, Montana (The
Oregon Short Line terminus at the western entrance to the Park) is
licensed by and is under the direct supervision of the United States
Government.

The line is equipped with elegant new two and four-horse Concord coaches
and two-horse surreys, and the finest of horses.

The coaches accommodate eight and eleven passengers, the surreys three
and five passengers. The drivers have been especially selected for the
service, are well informed, and will point out every interesting feature
of the Park.

The five days' coaching over the line of this Company takes in all
interesting sights in the Park, and every effort is made by the
management to secure the comfort and pleasure of passengers.

Stop-over privileges at any Park hotel are allowed without additional
stage charge; but twenty-four hours' advance notice must be given to the
Stage Company of the coach to be taken. Parties so desiring can arrange
for special coaches or surreys for the Park trip. For further
information regarding coaches and transportation facilities through the
Park, address F. J. Haynes, President M. & Y. Stage Company, St. Paul,
Minn., or Yellowstone Park, Wyo.
