Yellowstone National Park - Old Faithful Inn - Full Tour (2018)
The Old Faithful Inn is a hotel located in Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, United States, with a view of the Old Faithful Geyser. The Inn has a multi-story log lobby, flanked by long frame wings containing guest rooms.
With its log and limb lobby and massive (500-ton, 85-foot) stone fireplace, the inn is an example of the Golden Age of rustic resort architecture, a style which is also known as National Park Service Rustic. It is rare in that it is one of the few log hotels still standing in the United States, and was the first of the great park lodges of the American west.
Initial construction was carried out over the winter of 1903–1904, largely using locally obtained materials including lodgepole pine and rhyolite stone. When the Old Faithful Inn first opened in the spring of 1904, it boasted electric lights and steam heat.
The structure is the largest log hotel in the world; possibly even the largest log building in the world. In 2007 the American Institute of Architects conducted a survey to determine the 150 favorite buildings in America; the Old Faithful Inn ranked 36. The Inn, which was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1987, is itself part of the Old Faithful Historic District. Old Faithful Inn is a member of Historic Hotels of America, the official program of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
Yellowstone National Park is an American national park located in Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho. It was established by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by President Ulysses S. Grant on March 1, 1872. Yellowstone was the first national park in the U.S. and is also widely held to be the first national park in the world. The park is known for its wildlife and its many geothermal features, especially Old Faithful geyser, one of its most popular features. It has many types of ecosystems, but the subalpine forest is the most abundant. It is part of the South Central Rockies forests ecoregion.
Native Americans have lived in the Yellowstone region for at least 11,000 years. Aside from visits by mountain men during the early-to-mid-19th century, organized exploration did not begin until the late 1860s. Management and control of the park originally fell under the jurisdiction of the Secretary of the Interior, the first being Columbus Delano. However, the U.S. Army was subsequently commissioned to oversee management of Yellowstone for a 30-year period between 1886 and 1916. In 1917, administration of the park was transferred to the National Park Service, which had been created the previous year. Hundreds of structures have been built and are protected for their architectural and historical significance, and researchers have examined more than a thousand archaeological sites.
Yellowstone National Park spans an area of 3,468.4 square miles (8,983 km2), comprising lakes, canyons, rivers and mountain ranges. Yellowstone Lake is one of the largest high-elevation lakes in North America and is centered over the Yellowstone Caldera, the largest super-volcano on the continent. The caldera is considered an active volcano. It has erupted with tremendous force several times in the last two million years. Half of the world's geysers and hydrothermal features are in Yellowstone, fueled by this ongoing volcanism. Lava flows and rocks from volcanic eruptions cover most of the land area of Yellowstone. The park is the centerpiece of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, the largest remaining nearly-intact ecosystem in the Earth's northern temperate zone. In 1978, Yellowstone was named a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Bison Parade ~ Yellowstone NP, Wyoming (8-17-12)
Just south of Madison junction, along the Firehole River, we came upon a little parade led by a lone bison. Just as we drove past, the red car right behind him tried to pass, but the bison stepped to the left and shook his head at the car ... denied. But it wasn't until we drove around the corner that the full scale of the parade unfolded! We counted 105 vehicles crawling along in the main group, and then another 23 a little further down the road, about to join up.

Gardiner, Montana and Roosevelt Arch North Entrance of Yellowstone National Park
The town of Gardiner, Montana is nestled at the southern end of Paradise valley and directly at the North Entrance of Yellowstone National Park. Gardiner is a quaint western town that offers a small variety of restaurants, lodging options, and shops.
As we travel along Old Yellowstone Trail road we see many animals including Elk, and antelope. We visit the Roosevelt Arch at the North entrance of Yellowstone National Park.
We also Vist the Iron Horse Bar and Grille in Gardiner for dinner. We try the Bison burger and the ribs. We had a great time in this beautiful town and highly recommend anyone who is thinking about visiting.
The 1959 Yellowstone Earthquake
At 11:37 p.m. on August 17, 1959, a magnitude 7.5 earthquake rocked Montana’s Yellowstone country. In an instant, an entire mountainside fractured and thundered down onto the sites of unsuspecting campers. The mammoth avalanche generated hurricane-force winds ahead of it that ripped clothing from backs and heaved tidal waves in both directions of the Madison River Canyon. More than two hundred vacationers trapped in the canyon feared the dam upstream would burst. As debris and flooding overwhelmed the river, injured victims frantically searched the darkness for friends and family. Acclaimed historian Larry Morris tells the gripping minute-by-minute saga of the survivors who endured the interminable night, the first responders who risked their lives and the families who waited days and weeks for word of their missing loved ones.

Yellowstone National Park - Baby Bison , Hot Geysers, Morning Glory Pool
The Upper Geyser Basin near Old Faithful Geyser in Yellowstone is nature unleashed with geysers and wild animals..
Lex sez: Yellowstone's Old Faithful Visitor Educational Center located near the Upper Geyser Basin and the Old Faithful Inn was fun. There were a lot of colorful and informative displays on the many natural wonders at Yellowstone and a gift shop with a lot of great books I enjoyed browsing. They even had a short film presentation, but unfortunately Neek and I were too pressed for time to watch it: we had hiking to do!
We decided the best way to cover the most sights was to split up. Neek set out on a more direct path while mine was a little more curvy. Both of us tried to see as many geysers as we could on our way to the same destination: Morning Glory Pool. I walked around what the map called Geyser Hill and I could see why: it seemed like there was a geyser every five feet! Walking past, there was a grassy clearing where I saw a herd of bison, including some cute calves. Neek and I actually crossed paths at Grotto Geyser, then hiked together to Morning Glory. It wasn't as blue as we remembered decades ago, more of an emerald green, but still a breathtaking sight.
On our way back to the Old Faithful Inn parking lot, we saw crossing the road what at first we thought was a fox, but after closer examination, we're leaning more in the direction of saying it's a coyote. Getting back to the parking lot, we ate our lunch in the car (some roast beef sandwiches we bought in Gardiner that were really delicious) then took off to see more of Yellowstone.

10 Earth's Most Spectacular Places - Yellowstone National Park
Yellowstone National Park, established by the U.S. Congress and signed into law by President Ulysses S. Grant on March 1, 1872, is a national park located primarily in the U.S. state of Wyoming, though it also extends into Montana and Idaho. Yellowstone was the first national park in the world, and is known for its wildlife and its many geothermal features, especially Old Faithful Geyser, one of the most popular features in the park. It has many types of ecosystems, but the subalpine forest is dominant.
Native Americans have lived in the Yellowstone region for at least 11,000 years. The region was bypassed during the Lewis and Clark Expedition in the early 1800s. Aside from visits by mountain men during the early to mid-1800s, organized exploration did not begin until the late 1860s. The U.S. Army was commissioned to oversee the park just after its establishment. In 1917, administration of the park was transferred to the National Park Service, which had been created the previous year. Hundreds of structures have been built and are protected for their architectural and historical significance, and researchers have examined more than 1,000 archaeological sites.
Yellowstone National Park spans an area of 3,468 square miles (8,980 km2), comprising lakes, canyons, rivers and mountain ranges. Yellowstone Lake is one of the largest high-altitude lakes in North America and is centered over the Yellowstone Caldera, the largest supervolcano on the continent. The caldera is considered an active volcano; it has erupted with tremendous force several times in the last two million years. Half of the world's geothermal features are in Yellowstone, fueled by this ongoing volcanism. Lava flows and rocks from volcanic eruptions cover most of the land area of Yellowstone. The park is the centerpiece of the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, the largest remaining, nearly intact ecosystem in the Earth's northern temperate zone.
Hundreds of species of mammals, birds, fish and reptiles have been documented, including several that are either endangered or threatened. The vast forests and grasslands also include unique species of plants. Grizzly Bears, wolves, and free-ranging herds of bison and elk live in the park. Forest fires occur in the park each year; in the large forest fires of 1988, nearly one third of the park burned. Yellowstone has numerous recreational opportunities, including hiking, camping, boating, fishing and sightseeing. Paved roads provide close access to the major geothermal areas as well as some of the lakes and waterfalls. During the winter, visitors often access the park by way of guided tours that use either snow coaches or snowmobile. ( source wikipedia )
