IMAGES OF AMERICA’ S HISTORIC

National Park Lodges

by David & Kay Scott

Have you seen Yellowstone’ s iconic Old Faithful Inn prior to its 1904 opening? Did you know employees at the North Rim’ s Grand Canyon Lodge regularly serenaded departing guests? Guests at some park lodges were serenaded when they arrived and departed. National park lodges sometimes treated guests to weekly employee talent shows. The two of us enjoyed an employee talent show at Bryce Canyon Lodge in 1996. The story includes images and overviews for four of our favorite historic national park lodges. There are more, of course, many of which unfortunately are no longer with us.
