Description
Access to this collection is generously supported by Arcadia funds. Photograph of cars passing through the checking station at the west entrance of Yellowstone National Park. A wide road spans the foreground. The checking station stands in the near distance at center on a tilted angle. It is of log and lumber construction. An American flag stands in front of the center of the structure. A hut sits in the middle of the structure and is flanked by 2 porte-cocheres. Beneath the porte-cochere at right, a car is stopped. To the right of it stands another kiosk. Signs in front of the station read, "[...] YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK WEST ENTRANCE [...]," and "STOP ALL CARS CHECKED[?] HERE." A car drives towards the camera in the distance as it approaches the checking station from the left. Pines line both sides of the road as it stretches into the background behind the checking station. Text from negative sleeve: Yellowstone trip 1942. Wednesday, June 24, 1942. 1. The west entrance to Yellowstone National Park in the evening. 2. Right close to the west entrance is an auto court and we get a good cabin for the night. It has started to rain. 2 films. [Note: In all instances of the year date, 1942, the last digit (2) is handwritten over a typed 3.]
