Part 2

While many of the ranches in the Jackson Hole country are operating cattle ranches, they do accept a few guests during the summer months. All have attractive, comfortable accommodations for those who wish to indulge in horseback riding, fishing, mountain-climbing, hiking and the regular activities of ranch life. Dude ranch life offers rugged outdoor exercise, or pleasant relaxation. Certainly no more ideal spot can be found for such a vacation than in this vicinity. Most of the ranches are located in settings of natural beauty, with mountains, lakes and streams near by. The hospitality of western ranch folk is warm and genuine.

For more complete information about dude ranches in the Union Pacific West, including this area, inquire at any Union Pacific office listed on page 40 of this book for a copy of Union Pacific’s book “Dude Ranches Out West”.

YELLOWSTONE HOTELS

The Yellowstone visitor is well housed and well fed. The hotels furnish modern, comfortable accommodations, and only the finest of foods are served.

Old Faithful Inn

Old Faithful Inn is unique among hotels. Constructed entirely of native logs and stone, it is utterly charming. A massive fireplace in the lounge gives forth warmth and cheerfulness for evening gatherings. Off the lobby is “The Bear Pit,” a charming cocktail lounge.

Canyon Hotel

Comparable in appointments to any metropolitan hotel, yet suited to its wilderness setting, is Canyon Hotel near Grand Canyon. Its spacious, glass-enclosed lounge, furnished with comfortable chairs and settees, is a delightful place to relax after a day in the open.

Mammoth Hotel and Cottages

Headquarters of Yellowstone National Park are at Mammoth Hot Springs. Here are located the office of the Park Superintendent and other executive offices of the park administration, and of the public utilities that operate in the park under government regulation and supervision. A post office and museum are located at this point, as is Mammoth Hot Springs Hotel. Mammoth is ideally situated in a charming highland valley among some of the most striking mountain scenery in the Park.

ESCORTED, ALL-EXPENSE TOURS

Why not plan a real carefree vacation this summer by arranging to join one of the congenial groups on an escorted tour, conducted by our Department of Tours?

FOR THE CAMERA FAN

Yellowstone has everything for the camera addict but the park presents some subjects rather difficult to capture satisfactorily.

In either color or black and white the geysers are best photographed with quartering or slightly back light. Use panchromatic film and a fairly strong yellow filter or even a light red filter.

Color shots of Old Faithful are best made very early in the morning or late in the afternoon. If you are lucky enough to catch a color shot of an eruption against a sunset sky you will have a prize.

Hot pools demand considerable exposure to reproduce the color in the depths of the pool. Do not waste time on hot pools if the day is cool and steam obscures the subject. On such days the geysers give their best photographic eruptions.

In shooting geysers use a fast speed. Expose for the white and let the rest of the picture fall into a low key.

In using an exposure meter in Yellowstone, be careful to see that bright areas in the foreground do not give a false reading.

Your questions regarding either still or moving picture photography in Yellowstone will be answered fully if you will address Manager, Photographic Department, Union Pacific RR, Union Pacific Bldg., 1416 Dodge Street, Omaha 2, Nebr.

HAYNES PICTURE SHOPS—Pictures, albums, guide books, postcards, camera supplies and printing and developing service may be had at Haynes Picture Shops located in the hotels and lodges and elsewhere in the Park.
