YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK (YNET) -- If you are going through Gardiner, Montana at Yellowstone's North entrance at either lunch or dinner time then I strongly recommend Outlaws Pizza. Outlaws has great pizza plus this was the very first place I have ever had a calzone. The first time I had a calzone was in 1994 when I spent the summer in Yellowstone writing my book. Since then I have had calzones all over the country and none of them have compared to that very first one I had way back then. Outlaws Pizza ... a great place to eat in Gardiner!
Yesteryear in Yellowstone by BRUCE GOURLEY YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK (YNET) -- Prior to the paving of Yellowstone's roadways, dust was one of the major complaints by many tourists. In an attempt to address the problem of dusty roads, Captain Hiram H. Chittenden of the Corps of Engineers in 1902 suggested treating the roads with oil. It would be years before his suggestion was tried, but during that summer of 1902, Chittenden did have the four mile stretch of road between Mammoth and Swan Lake Flat sprinkled with water to keep the dust in check. The tourists were very appreciative of Chittenden's efforts. Also in 1902, Yellowstone received appropriations which allowed a giant step forward towards completion of the Park road system.
