Yellowstone’s Battle Against the Automobile
Getting to Yellowstone National Park in the early days of the automobile was no simple task. Adventurous drivers believed it was possible, but first, two big hurdles stood in their way: building safe roads through the rugged Cowboy State and convincing the Park Service to even allow cars past the gates.
One determined driver crashed the gate going 25 mph and the mounted soldiers gave chase! The war to get automobile’s into Yellowstone had started!
Once permission was given, we have first hand accounts of what the Yellowstone National Park was like when it first allowed the contraptions legally beyond its gate.
This concludes our series along the Wind River Canyon Scenic By-Way, celebrating 100 years of this route to Yellowstone!
