Erected in 1927-28, this is the most intact rustic hotel development remaining in the National Parks from the era when railroads, in this case the Union Pacific, fostered construction of "destination resorts." The main lodge building was rebuilt in 1936 following a devastating fire, but its most important interior spaces retained their scale, materials, and flavor, and the deluxe cabins and standard cabins of log and stone construction also kept their fabric, layout, and ambiance.
