Excerpt from All About the Tours and Fares in Yellowstone Park

Since 1883, therefore, the public has, by way of Cinnabar, which was only between two and three miles below Gardiner, and later through Gardiner, been able to easily make the tour of the Park, the Northern Pacific running its trains, including stand ard Pullmans, to the Park entrance at Gardiner.

The Park tour proper, from Gardiner, is made in large, strong, Concord stage coaches constructed for this particular purpose and combining all the desirable features of the old time and historic Con cord coach.

Between Gardiner and Mammoth Hot Springs, a distance of five miles, and the latter point the Government administrative center of the Park, the coaches are drawn by six horses and have a capacity of twenty to thirty-four passengers. Beyond Mammoth Hot Springs four-horse coaches are used and they range in capacity from five to eleven passengers. Covered surreys, containing three to five passengers, are also available.

From the time of leaving Gardiner until the tourist returns to that point, the regular tour comprises five and one-half days, and this is the shortest time in which one can possibly make the tour, and obtain anything like a satisfactory idea of the Park. Any attempted curtailment of the trip means an absolute and a real loss some where. This tour - round trip from Livingston six days, five and one-half days in the Park - is the result of twenty-five years' experience in trans porting tourists through the Park under the super vision of the Government, and enables one to see the most for the least expenditure of both time and money, and in the utmost comfort.
