Description
Excerpt from The Cody Road Into Yellowstone Park
Picture, first, the region as a whole - a region of large distances, gigantic mountain peaks and ranges green-sloped and snow-capped, heaped closely together apparently in inextricable confusion, and over all'' this wildness a soft and picturesque beauty which is one of its greatest charms. The first few miles do not, perhaps, answer to this general description and have peculiar but characteristic features of their own.
It is a wonderful country and every mile of it inter esting to any man, whether a native of the East or of the West. Scenery and timber on such gigantic scale are thrilling to even a mountaineer. The air is clear, crisp, and induces such an appetite that every meal is looked forward to with delight. When it is a man''s own tackle that has furnished the fish, or his own gun that has furnished the bird or meat, the relish of the meal is all the greater. Let it be particularly borne in mind that the trout fishing is not merely good, but distinctly fine. A man doesn''t have to be an old - timer to land a creditable string of either mountain, salmon, brook or rainbow trout.
