Yellowstone National Park

The Yellowstone National Park, which lies largely within the State of Wyoming, is probably the outstanding recreational feature of the state.

That it is being appreciated by the motor tourist camper is evident from the fact that the visiting cars have come to number between fifteen and [311]twenty thousand a year—1923 record, 18,253 cars and 61,507 motorists.
