Yellowstone in 1967

The tour described in this brochure from the NPRHA — Lorenz Schrenk collection is different from the ones in shown in the last two days, mainly by including a trip to the Grand Tetons. The basic tour starts in Livingston and includes four nights in the park at the Mammoth Inn, Old Faithful Inn, Jackson Lake Lodge in the Tetons, and Lake Hotel back in Yellowstone.

From there, travelers had a choice of returning via Gardiner to Livingston, going over the Beartooth Pass Highway to Red Lodge and Billings, or going via Cody to Billings. Those going to Livingston would spend a night at the Murray Hotel while those going to Billings would stay at the Northern Hotel. The Murray was built in 1904 as a two-story hotel, later expanded to four stories, across the street from NP’s Livingston station.

Tour prices varied, depending on the route, from about $129 to $137 ($1,125 to $1,200 today) per person, double occupancy. Although the brochure says the tour included “reserved space on the North Coast Limited,” in fact the prices included only transportation, food, and lodging for the days spent off the train: coach, sleeping car, and dining car meals were extra.
