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.

Rock Climbing In Sinks Canyon Wyoming | Vlog #7
Lander, Wyoming is home to one of the rock climbing in America! We go climbing in the Sinks Canyon in Lander in the snow on November 10th. The weather was nice out so we decided to go rock climbing, but half way through its starts to snow! That doesn't stop Mike from successfully leading his first 10A without falling. I manage to climb my first 7, and failed my attempt at an 8. David successfully leads a 7, and followed an 8. Michelle also successfully leads a long 7.
Can you tell I have no idea what all this rock climbing lingo means?
29. The Survival of Mission 66's Canyon Village in Yellowstone National Park
Canyon Village in Yellowstone National Park was the first official Mission 66 project endorsed by the National Park Service (NPS) in 1955. It represented a joint planning and construction effort by NPS and Yellowstone’s key concessioners. This development introduced several new concepts to the visitor experience: services located away from the natural resource, a sole building dedicated to the visitor center, roadways and parking lots accommodating the automobile and the shopping experience, and the “motel” concept with lodge and cabins.
Canyon Village was intended to set an example for other national parks, establishing design parameters, design process, and methods of construction. Several other large national parks were developed similarly as part of the Mission 66 program.
Canyon Village today generally appears as it did when completed in 1960, yet has suffered from a lack of appreciation for the modern building style. The NPS Visitor Center was replaced in 2007 with a building more akin to Yellowstone’s rustic style, a perceived rejection of the origin of the visitor center as a typology and the mid-century style. While NPS appears to have been slow in appreciating Mission 66, Yellowstone is now trying to embrace the strong presence of Mission 66 remaining at Canyon Village. In a Memorandum of Agreement with the Wyoming SHPO, NPS has agreed to restore many of the Mission 66 features of Canyon Village Lodge. This MOA was prompted by the decision to remove 54 pre-manufactured plywood cabins behind the Lodge. Interestingly, the rustic style hotel lodges, being erected in their place, are also comprised of pre-fabricated units.
Canyon Village Lodge was designed by a prominent architect from Los Angeles – Welton Becket Associates – who was well known for design of sleek shopping centers, department stores, and corporate offices. Canyon Lodge is a massive building constructed with modern materials and methods. The volumes, colors, and furnishings were integral components of the mid-century design style, yet only the volume remains today. The spirited character of the building has been watered down gradually over time, greatly diminishing interpretation of this Mission 66 landmark. I will present the current renovation plans that include the return of color and character to this building. It is hoped that this project will become a prototype for the treatment of Mission 66 buildings in our other national parks.
Visiting Bighorn National Recreation Area, Montana
The Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area surrounds the Bighorn Canyon and Lake and spans the border between Montana and Wyoming. With a lake that stretches for 71-miles and canyon walls towering up to 2,500 feet, this relatively undiscovered area is a spectacular place to enjoy a day (or more) of boating or kayaking. There are several campgrounds and boat launch points along the canyon as well as fourteen hiking and interpretive trails. Keep an eye out for abundant wildlife, including peregrine falcons, bighorn sheep and black bears or visit one of the four historic ranches to learn about some of the area's fascinating former residents. Only a short detour on the road to Yellowstone from the east, this area is a relatively undiscovered beauty.
There are both north and south entrances, although it’s not easy to get from one to the other as there are no direct roads. From Wyoming you can visit the Bighorn Canyon Visitor Center and access the recreation area near the town of Lovell. From Montana on the north end, visit the Yellowtail Dam Visitor Center near the town of Fort Smith.
Our trip took us to the north end where during the summer (from Memorial Day through Labor Day) pontoon boats are available for rent at the Ok-A-Beh Marina. Although the northern portion of the recreation area sits on the Crow Indian Reservation, the National Park Service maintains a road to the marina via a continuously renewed lease with the Crow Tribe and public access is allowed (along with lakeshore camping) from the lake to 30’ above the “full” water level. Thank you to Visit Southeast Montana, Visit Billings, the Bighorn National Recreation Area, the National Park Service and the Crow tribe for hosting us.
Learning to Travel, is a travel video & social media company formed by Joyce & Daryle Dickens to help others identify and realize their dreams of “traveling more”. After years of “traveling more” talk with too little action, we finally went all-in on a life-changing 14-month journey to 23 countries and 23 US states. Since then, we’ve heard far too many people say “I wish I could do that” which has made us realize that most people need a little push to believe their travel dreams are possible and a little guidance to turn those dreams into reality. That inspiration and guidance is what is all about.

Yellowstone was the first national park in the U.S. and is also widely held to be the first national park in the world. Approximately 96 percent of the land area of Yellowstone National Park is located within the state of Wyoming. Another three percent is within Montana, with the remaining one percent in Idaho. The park is (63 mi; 101 km) north to south, and (54 mi; 87 km) west to east by air. Yellowstone is 2,219,789 acres (898,317 ha; 3,468 sq mi; 8,983 km²), comprising canyons, lakes, rivers and mountain ranges. Forests comprise 80 percent of the land area of the park; most of the rest is grassland. Lakes rivers cover five percent of the land area, with the largest water body being Yellowstone Lake at 87,040 acres (35,224 ha; 136 sq mi; 352 km²). Yellowstone Lake is up to (400 ft; 120 m) deep and has (110 mi; 180 km) of shoreline. At an elevation of (7,733 ft; 2,357 m) above sea level, Yellowstone Lake is the largest high elevation lake in North America.
The park sits on the Yellowstone Plateau, at an average elevation of (8,000 ft; 2,400 m) above sea level. The plateau is bounded on nearly all sides by mountain ranges of the Middle Rocky Mountains, which range from (9,000 to 11,000 ft; 2,700 to 3,400 m) in elevation. The highest point in the park is atop Eagle Peak (11,358 ft; 3,462 m) and the lowest is along Reese Creek (5,282 ft; 1,610 m). The most prominent summit on the Yellowstone Plateau is Mount Washburn at (10,243 ft; 3,122 m). The park contains 290 waterfalls of at least (15 ft; 4.6 m), the highest being the Lower Falls of the Yellowstone River at (308 ft; 94 m).
Yellowstone National Park is the centerpiece of the 20 million acres (8,093,712 ha; 31,250 sq mi; 80,937 km²) Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, a region that includes Grand Teton National Park, adjacent National Forests and expansive wilderness areas in those forests. The ecosystem is the largest remaining continuous stretch of mostly undeveloped pristine land in the contiguous United States, considered the world's largest intact ecosystem in the northern temperate zone.
Over 1,700 species of trees and other vascular plants are native to the park. Another 170 species are considered to be exotic species and are non-native. Of the eight conifer tree species documented, Lodgepole Pine forests cover 80 percent of the total forested areas. Other conifers, such as Subalpine Fir, Engelmann Spruce, Rocky Mountain Douglas-fir and Whitebark Pine, are found in scattered groves throughout the park.
Hundreds of species of mammals, birds, fish, and reptiles have been documented. The vast forests and grasslands also include unique species of plants. Yellowstone Park is the largest and most finest megafauna wildlife habitat. There are almost 60 species of mammals in the park, including the timber wolf, coyote, lynx, and grizzly bears. Other large mammals include the bison, black bear, elk, moose, mule deer, white-tailed deer, mountain goat, pronghorn, bighorn sheep, and cougar live in this park.
Hundreds of species of birds have been reported, almost half of which nest in Yellowstone. In 1999, twenty-six pairs of nesting bald eagle were documented. Extremely rare sightings of whooping cranes have been recorded, however only three examples of this species are known to live in the Rocky Mountains, out of 385 known worldwide. Other birds, considered to be species of special concern because of their rarity in Yellowstone, include the common loon, harlequin duck, osprey, peregrine falcon and the trumpeter swan.
Yellowstone ranks among the most popular national parks in the United States. The National Park Service maintains 9 visitor centers and museums and is responsible for maintenance of historical structures and many of the other 2,000 buildings. An historical and educational tour is available at Fort Yellowstone which details the history of the National Park Service and the development of the park. Campfire programs, guided walks and other interpretive presentations are available at numerous locations. The park has numerous recreational opportunities, including hiking, boating, fishing and sightseeing. Paved roads provide close access to the major geothermal areas as well as some of the lakes and waterfalls. Camping is available at a dozen campgrounds with more than 2,000 campsites. Camping is also available in surrounding National Forests, as well as in Grand Teton National Park to the south. Backcountry campsites are accessible only by foot or by horseback and require a permit. There are (1,100 mi; 1,800 km) of hiking trails available.

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.
