Lunch at the Old Faithful Inn

    We took time out from our Jeep travels to take a day trip to Old Faithful and have lunch with my mother at the Old Faithful Inn while she was visiting from Pennsylvania.


     The drive up to the Inn.


     The dining room at the Inn.  We just barely beat the crowd.  Shortly after this picture was taken every table was full.  The buffet, which we enjoyed, included Bison chili and pan fried trout.


     Looking up from the center of the lobby.  This is a small section of the log structure of the Inn. You really have to stand there and see it in person to get the full sense of this building.  Don't miss it on your YNP trip.

     Here's a link to the Yellowstone National Park site which contains information on the history and construction of the Old Faithful Inn, and other information on the area around Old Faithful.
