Such a park reserve, even if very small, could not fail to be a lasting pleasure, since it would be more accessible to large centers of population than other reserves, and its most delightful seasons are spring and autumn when the Yellowstone is under snow. The distant view obtained through open spaces is an undulating forest in all directions, being apparently both trackless and endless.
