A national treasure increases in the shadow of the steaming geyser of Yelostone – Old Fathful In.
Standing for more than a century, he is the grandfather of the National Park Lodge.
Ruth Quinn said, “It is considered a benchmark of the National Park architecture,” Ruth Quinn said, who have been giving their directed tourism for more than 30 years.
“Architect, Robert Reimar, sent a small group of men in search of ‘forest fruks’, which we all call funny pieces,” he said.
Some of the 10,000 trees were cut from the bones of the lodge in Frakes, 1904.
“When it opened, he advertised it as the world’s largest log cabin,” Quinn said.
It is a log cabin that has welcomed presidents, royalty and millions of travelers. This earthquake, wildfire and careless tourists have survived.
“Prakash was designed to look like candles. So they actually pushed out the logs to run through them and were very modern at the time,” Quinn said about the Old House of the Lodge. So they were very modern at the time, “about the old house of the lodge, the original section that was first opened back in 1904.
To live in the old house, it is best to plan beforehand. The room average $ 250 per night, and you still have to share a bathroom with other guests.
Carpenter Rich Henderson and his team still work to keep the lodge in good shape during the old look.
“I don’t want people to know that I was there,” Henderson said about his work at the lodge. “If I can mix it well, it is the best reward I get.”
Of course, the great contribution of Lodge in the US also cannot be found in Yelostone.
“If people had not liked Old Fathful in, we cannot have Ahwani in Yosemite. We cannot have a Timberline lodge in Mount Hood in Oregon. We cannot have a gorgeous lodge of glacier. This is the building that has popularized the style,” Quinn said.
A iconic lodge that never goes out of style.
