tion. On a slope that sweeps gently down to the waters sits the Lake Inn. The forest creeps down to it onthree sides, and the outlook from its goodly porches is over the broad expanse of Yellowstone Lake—oneof the highest of navigated seas, and as passive, clear and prettily tree-trimmed a sheet of water as there isin the world. You may reach this inn from Thumb by steamer or by coach; but if you would have twohours of ecstacy, take the steamer. Thumb is a lunch station, and the lunch there is a creation. The Canyon Inn is almost on the brink of the gorge where falls the Yellowstone. It is a duplicationin excellence of the other inns, and when you bid it good-bye it is to begin your last days tour of the Park.Then comes Norris, with its geysers and its awful Black Growler, and a lunch that will send the touriston his homeward way with a grateful heart. After that—Yellowstone—and the whistle of the engine andthe waiting Pullman—your tour is ended and the Park a pleasant memory.
