    • The arch was designed by the same architect that designed the Old Faithful Inn, Robert Reamer.

    President Theodore Roosevelt dedicated the arch to the people in a speech on April 24, 1903. "The Yellowstone Park is something absolutely unique in the world....This Park was created and is now administered for the benefit and enjoyment of the people.....it is the property of Uncle Sam and therefore all of us."

    The arch was erected near the train station in Gardiner. Visitors to the park would board stagecoaches and proceed through the arch to Yellowstone. Of course today visitors stop some distance from the arch for photos then proceed to drive through.

    height - 50 ft.
    materials - basalt, quarried locally

     Another helpful page on the yellowstone area! :)    		matcrazy1 Fri Sep 24, 2004 17:08 UTC
     Fantastic pictures of a must to see for me. It's a pity I wasn't more time to go to Yellowstone in 2003... Amazing, out of place arch... :-)))

     Great page, they certainly have enough lodging for the park visitors.    		keeweechic Sun Nov 16, 2003 05:31 UTC
     This looks a gorgeous area to drive around with all this wildlife. That fleet sure is quite a blast from the past. Looks like a good alternative to staying in the Park.
