SUPER DOMES NOW ON THE _OLYMPIAN Hiawatha_

Here’s extra fun on your trip to Yellowstone via The Milwaukee Road. The super-speed Olympian Hiawatha—only one night en route from Chicago—carries America’s first full length domes, the only domes to the Pacific Northwest.

68 individual lookout seats on the upper deck provide glorious views of the palisades of the Mississippi, the Belt Mountains, Montana Canyon and the source of the Missouri near Three Forks. Delightful Cafe Lounge on the lower deck of the Super Dome car for beverages and snacks. Entire car is open to all passengers.

Olympian Hiawatha equipment includes private-room cars with the unique Skytop Lounge. Double bedrooms and roomettes are completely and luxuriously appointed. Adjoining bedrooms open to form connecting suites.

Touralux sleepers, built exclusively for this service, offer berth comfort and privacy at reduced cost. Reserved seat Luxurest coaches have 40 individual chairs with leg rests; spacious lounge-dressing rooms for men and for women. Dining car features famous Milwaukee Road meals. All cars are air conditioned and wired for radio or station announcements.

The electrified COLUMBIAN

Accommodations in air conditioned standard Pullman sleepers, tourist sleepers and Hiawatha-type coaches. Electric operation through the Belt Mountains and Montana Canyon.

Westbound passengers for Yellowstone on the Columbian reach Three Forks in the morning, have lunch at Gallatin Gateway Inn and leave for the Park immediately afterward. On the Olympian Hiawatha, you reach Three Forks in mid-afternoon and remain at the Inn until after lunch the following day. By eliminating the stay at the Inn, you save money traveling on the Columbian. There is also some saving of time from Chicago despite the more leisurely schedule of this train.

GENERAL INFORMATION

Prepaid, All-Expense Tours Personally Escorted

Many Yellowstone Park travelers prefer to travel with special parties of congenial people under the popular all-expense plan. These tours will be operated during the Yellowstone Park season and those desiring to join one of the parties should call on any of the Chicago, Milwaukee, St. Paul and Pacific Railroad travel bureaus shown on the inside back cover of this booklet or write direct to Mr. H. Sengstacken, Passenger Traffic Manager, The Milwaukee Road, Union Station, Chicago 6, Ill.

The Park Season

The regular Park season is June 22nd to September 8th.

Motor Transportation

The Yellowstone Park Company, under contract with the Government operates a transportation line between the Park entrances and the various hotels and points of interest.

Hotels

All service is under the supervision of the Government and is maintained at a high standard at rates fixed by the Government.

Each hotel is individual in character and architecture, completely and modernly equipped.

Old Faithful Inn is a striking structure of logs and stone. Its unusual lobby is 75 feet square and 92 feet high to the peak of the roof, with balconies around three sides.

Old Faithful Geyser is nearby the Inn, and not far away are many other geysers too numerous to mention here.

The Canyon Hotel, one of the finest hotels in the country with every comfort and convenience, is particularly well known for its spacious and beautiful plate-glass enclosed lounge. It has a wonderful setting high up on one side of Yellowstone Canyon, not far from the Lower Falls.

Mammoth Hot Springs hotel is most modern in style and appointments.

The Climate

Far from the least attraction of an invigorating outing is the climate. An average elevation of 8,000 feet brings a clear and bracing atmosphere. Hot mineral baths and outdoor sleeping, best of Nature’s medicines, may be enjoyed throughout the season. During the tourist season the mean average temperature ranges from 54° to 64° with a maximum of 88°. There is little choice as to the best time for visiting the Park. Early summer finds more snow in the mountains; August and September bring floral decorations in all their beauty and charm.

What to Wear

Warm clothing should be worn, and one should be prepared for sudden changes of temperature common at an altitude of 7,500 feet. Men should have medium weight overcoats and sweaters, and women should have coats or sweaters. Slacks or riding breeches are recommended for both men and women. Stout shoes should be worn as they are most comfortable and best suited for walking about the geysers, terraces and other formations. Tinted glasses, serviceable gloves and field glasses will be found useful.

Park Administration

Yellowstone, like all other National Parks, is under the supervision of the National Park Service, with a local superintendent located at Mammoth Hot Springs, headquarters of the Park administration.

Church Services

Religious services are conducted at convenient locations in the park. Information provided at hotel desks.

Medical Service in Yellowstone

Physicians and surgeons with headquarters at Mammoth Hot Springs are available for call to any place in the Park. Trained nurses and a dispensary are at each of the hotels in the Park. At Mammoth is a well-equipped hospital with skilled personnel.

Saddle Horse Trips and Guides

Saddle horses, as well as competent guides, are available at all hotels and lodges at established rates made by the National Park Service. Those who desire to do so may get far off the beaten path and into the more remote and scenic regions of the Park.

Cost of Park Tour from Gallatin Gateway

(which will be added to the excursion fare to Gallatin Gateway)

Including Motor Transportation and Meals and Lodging

For Adults and children 12 years old $46.75 and over For children 8 years old and under 12 34.25 years For children under 8 years 24.00

(Federal tax extra)

Longer time than is provided by the regular “two-and-one-half days’” tour may be spent at the stopover points, if desired. For such additional time, meals and lodging are on the basis of $9.00 to $12.00 per day, American plan. (Children’s Tickets for motor transportation and hotel accommodations are sold at Park entrances only.)

Baggage

The Yellowstone Park Company will carry free, two pieces of hand baggage for each person, not to exceed sixty pounds in total weight, with a limited liability of $25.00 for each piece for loss or damage. Passengers desiring additional protection may obtain an insurance policy at small cost from the transportation agent at Gallatin Gateway. Trunks cannot be transported in the automobiles. Tourists contemplating a prolonged trip through the Park can make arrangements with representatives of the Transportation Company at Gallatin Gateway for the forwarding of trunks.

Railroads store baggage free at Gallatin Gateway, Three Forks, Butte, Livingston, Gardiner, Cody, Frannie or Billings, West Yellowstone, Pocatello, Idaho Falls, Ogden or Salt Lake City, for actual length of time spent in the Park. Baggage may be checked to Gallatin Gateway, Gardiner, Cody or West Yellowstone.

_Passengers entering the Park via one station and leaving via another can make arrangements for free checking of baggage to station via which they leave the Park._

Return via Salt Lake City and Colorado

Many rail travelers from the East and Middle West add to the enjoyment of their Yellowstone tour by returning over a different route. You can plan your trip to continue southward from West Yellowstone to Salt Lake City, then east through Colorado and so home again.

Salt Lake City, originally settled and built by the Mormons, is a clean and attractive city that rates high in tourist interest. The focal point, of course, is the great square containing the handsome Mormon Temple and the smaller Tabernacle with its barrel-vaulted, wooden roof. Organ recitals are held regularly in this building.

Many brief tours are available to points of outstanding interest. You will want to visit Saltair on the shores of Great Salt Lake and probably to take a swim in the amazingly buoyant waters. You also see the vast and arid salt fields on this trip. Another tour might well be through Bingham Canyon into the mining country where you see the world’s largest open pit copper mine.

From Salt Lake City, one of the routes east takes you through the world-renowned Royal Gorge of the Arkansas River, one of the great scenic thrills of the West. Another scenic route east takes you through Cheyenne.

From Colorado Springs, the “Sunshine City”, motor tours take you through the beautiful residential section and over High Mesa to the colorful Garden of the Gods. Then on to Manitou, Seven Falls, Cheyenne Mountain, the Will Rogers Shrine Memorial, through Ute Pass and up Pyramid Mountain for a superb view of Pikes Peak and its sisters in the Rockies.

Denver, the mile-high city, has a superb system of parks, the Buffalo Bill Memorial Museum and the tomb of Buffalo Bill. Scenic drives offer extraordinary views into Clear Creek Canyon, Bear Creek Canyon and the gorgeous Red Rocks.

Fast streamliners provide excellent rail service between Denver, Colorado Springs and Chicago.
