THE YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK LIVING in the YELLOWSTONE HE park has entrances on all four sides. Three have railroad connections; the southern entrance, by way of Jackson's Hole and past the jagged snowy Tetons, is available for vehicles. The roads from all entrances enter a central belt road which makes a large circuit connecting places of special interest. Five large hotels are located at points convenient for seeing the sights, and are supplemented by a dozen or more public camps at modest prices. Transportation companies make the circuit on schedules which carry the hurried visitor around the park in five days. But the day of the unhurried visitor has dawned. If you want to enjoy your Yellowstone, if, indeed, you want even to see it, you should make your minimum twice five days; two weeks is better; a month is ideal. Spend the additional time at the canyon and on the trails. See the lake and the pelicans. Visit Shoshone Lake. Climb Mount Washburn. Spend a day at Tower Falls. See Fort Yellowstone at Mammoth Hot Springs. Hunt wild animals with a camera. Stay with the wilderness and it will repay you a thousandfold. Fish a little, study nature in her myriad wealthand live. The Yellowstone National Park is ideal for camping out. When people realize this it should quickly become the most lived in, as it already is one of the most livable, of all our national parks. Remember that the Yellowstone is yours.
