I might as well continue with the Yellowstone National Park theme that I have going (here and here) and show you something a bit architecture related - Old Faithful Inn. We didn't stay there, but I went in the lobby and took some photos.
Isn't it the most remarkable structure? The inn is like a log cabin on steroids. The entire structure is wood, with the centre of the lobby extended up 4 floors with a huge stone fireplace going all the way up and the balcony railings having strange twisted branches.
The outside of the hotel is also decorated with the strange knobby, twisted wood pieces.

From a distance the Inn is also quite remarkable, with a huge sloping roof and many gabled windows.
Did you know that the Old Faithful Inn first opened in 1904. It was designated a National Historic Landmark in 1987 and is thought to be the largest log building in the world.
And of course, there's Old Faithful herself - the reason for the Inn's existence - quite remarkable in its own right!
