Old Faithful Inn Photo

Old Faithful Inn Photo

On previous visits, I have wandered around and photographed the outside of the historic Old Faithful Inn, but never bothered to step inside.  I had no idea what I was missing until seeing footage of the inside on a Travel Channel show on Yellowstone.  Wow!  I have seen other hotels with huge, impressive lobbies like the Old Faithful Inn, but none of them were built entirely of logs over a 100 years ago!  It really is a beautiful structure.

The days are getting long – I got into camp the night before about 10:00 p.m. from Grand Prismatic Spring, and we had to get up at 4:15 a.m. to get this photo.  Why so early for an interior?  Two reasons.  First, because it is so dark inside, I found the light streaming in from the windows was overpowering my day photos of the interior.  I needed to have it almost dark outside to get a nice balance.  The other reason, it would be the only time the lobby was empty – evenings the place is very busy.

Here is more posts about Yellowstone on this photo blog.  In addition, check out our collection of Yellowstone National Park Photos.

I noticed that when you’ve been entering your url into my blog comments, it’s always a broken link. I think you have to enter the full http://www.my-photo.blog.com address as opposed to www. Might help your page rank…
