Roads from Mammoth head both south to the geyser basins and east through the Lamar Valley and eventually to Yellowstone Canyon. Most people would go south as it led to the quickest payoff in terms of unique and unusual sites.

Before reaching the geyers, carriages and stagecoaches had to climb from Mammoth’s 6,700 feet to Kingman Pass’s 7,400 feet. The route went through Golden Gate Canyon, which was named by the army, and which required a precarious bridge built on the side of a cliff.

Here’s another view of Golden Gate bridge with a carriage in the picture. The original wooden bridge was replaced with the concrete one shown here in 1900, and has been replaced and widened at least twice since then.

People were encouraged to feed bears, which had become tame from all of the available food in dumps and from tourists. While the black bear in this photo is potentially dangerous, it is nowhere near as threatening as the brown or grizzly bears. The black-and-white source of this photo was taken by Frank Haynes, who operated his own postcard company in Yellowstone. It is one of many that Acmegraph borrowed (and presumably paid for) to use for its postcards.

Tourists would eventually reach the Lake Hotel, which was originally built by the Northern Pacific in 1891 and then expanded and improved by Robert Reamer in various stages from 1903 to the 1920s. But before getting to this hotel, most tourists would stop at Old Faithful, which will be the subject of tomorrow’s postcards.
Although the colors in the Lake Hotel photo are fairly accurate, the postcard is another that is based on a black-and-white photo by Frank Haynes.
