Excerpt from A Trial of a Trail: From Cody of the Yellowstone, With Map

Much of the pleasure of an outing lies in the antici pation of the trip itself. For a long time we had been looking forward to a Yellowstone trip. When it was definitely decided to go this summer, we became enthus iastic. It had been a study when and how to make the trip. June was regarded by many as the better month, thus escaping the mosquitoes of July and the dust of August; others thought July preferable as the flowers then were in full bloom; and again the weather was yet too cool in June to travel in the Park with comfort while August and September Claimed for themselves absence of mosquitoes, they had neither the beautiful flowers of July nor the full flowing streams of snow water to offer. By the middle of August the snows have entirely disappeared from the mountain sides and forests, and the white mantle of winter lingers only on the loftiest peaks. The scantily fed streams lose much of their beauty until they are fed again by the later autum nal rains. Weighing these various considerations it was decided to start the first of July, taking the Burlington Route from Chicago to Cody, Wyo.
