In honor of the 100th Birthday of the National Park Service,

They actually fed the bears back then.

Amazing that they did feed the bears garbage near the hotels.

Very interesting to see these old cards. So strange indeed that they fed the bears!

Your cards are treasures just like Yellowstone! We vacationed there this summer, it was fabulous!
ReplyDeleteLoved the old cards!!! The woman feeding the bear gave me chills...it could turn on her so quickly!! The architecture of the inns is so interesting. Thanks for taking the time to share these treasures!
ReplyDeleteSo interesting to see these vintage cards...not knowing the area, I was interested to see how big the Inn looked & that there was a fort too!
ReplyDeleteDoes the Inn still exist?
The old cards are beautiful. It is my wish to visit some of your impressively beautiful parks one day, your National Park Service is a wonderful organisation and I follow some of the Instagram accounts of the parks, they have the most beautiful pictures.
ReplyDeleteI have been watching the National Park specials on television. Watched one about the wild life in Yellowstone a few days ago.
ReplyDeleteLovely fun postcards.
ReplyDeleteThese are fantastic. I love old postcards. Funny what we have learned about nature and wildlife since then. My daughter loved Yellowstone and her trip began a quest to visit every national park. They are well on their way. Thank you for sharing these remarkable images.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! Thank you for sharing this history. Yellowstone is #1 on my bucket list of someday 😊
