[Geysers] Trees!

[MA Bellingham]

As a student of YNP roads, I must say that the Bureau of Public roads was very proud of those trees!   Next time you enjoy the shade at Riverside Geyser be sure to appreciate their "improvements" at that developed area.  

 

Couldn't resist!  Carry on!

Probably the most interesting and beneficial projects completed during the 1937 season were the Fishing Bridge and the Parking Area in the vicinity of Old Faithful. Both of these areas in the past have been uncomfortably congested and the completed improvements not only allow greater freedom to traffic but also add considerable beauty to the roadside in the particular localities. Some 2,000 local trees, mostly evergreens, were planted on these two projects, as well as many shrubs and some grass.
