T Thousands even of those who, watches in hand, have hustledfrom sight to sight over the usual stage schedules, bring homel; vivid impressions of little else.There never was a greater mistake. Were there no geysers, the Yellow-stone watershed alone, with its glowing canyon, would be worth the nationalpark. Were there also no canyon, the scenic wilderness and its incomparablewealth of wild-animal life would be worth the national park. The personality of the Yellowstone is threefold. The hot-water manifes-tations are worth minute examination, the canyon a contemplative visit, thepark a summer. Dunraven Pass, Mount Washburn, the canyon at TowerFalls, Shoshone Lak^, Sylvan Pass—these are known to very few indeed.See all or you have not seen the Yellowstone„
