Mountain men later visited the area and added to the lore of Yellowstone. Then came the men of vision. "The Discovery" documents the men who had the vision to make it this country's 1st national park.
Then came the "Dudes and Sagebrushers" and the hotels, transportation, and campgrounds established to meet their needs. One hotell had a circumference of a mile, ,another was built in 1890 and still welcomes visitors today.
