Yellowstone's roads took shape over decades, and this picture follows that change, from the rutted wagon tracks that first carried visitors through the park to the paved routes that later replaced them. Early automobiles were allowed inside the park starting in 1915, and the new roads were built to handle them, with bridges and grades that reshaped the landscape. Few places in the national park system show the shift from horse-drawn travel to motor touring as plainly as the road network here. Worth noticing is how the changing vehicles and road surfaces mark the growing number of people who came to see the geysers and canyons.
