The most developed area of the park, it has several restaurant and hotel options to handle the crowds who make the requisite pilgrimage to view Old Faithful erupt. The best known is the Old Faithful Inn, a soaring log building that celebrated its centennial in 2004. You'll also find a photo-processing shop in the shopping area, stores carrying hiking and sporting gear, and galleries that exhibit works by local and regional artists. Snow Lodge is the only hotel at this location that is open in the winter, when the area is only accessible by snowcoach, snowmobile or skis.
