Yellowstone is a great wild animal refuge where the game is protected
and therefore quite unafraid of humans. You will see dozens and dozens
of the famous bears whose clumsy antics are an unfailing source of
amusement. Among them is the grizzly bear, rightfully the most respected
of all the wild animals. In meeting bears on the roads and paths, never
tease the animals with food.
Almost anywhere in the Park you may catch glimpses of deer, and perhaps
of buffalo, antelope, elk and mountain sheep as well as smaller animals
such as marmots, beaver and chipmunks. You will have ample opportunity
to take short walking trips. You can fish and swim; join community
singing around huge campfires; listen to lectures on the geology and
animal life of the Park; see informal entertainments by the boys and
girls who staff the lodges and hotels; join in the fun of informal
dances.
Whether you have little time or much, no finer vacation spot exists than
magnificent, incredible Yellowstone. Boundless in wonders and in
hospitality, this is your Park, your playground ... the magic land where
dreams come true.

hot springs.]
