Yellowstone Land of Magic
SPEND your summer vacation in Yellowstone amid the geysers, boiling pools, mud volcanoes and smoking mountains of this strange land. 
See the colossal Yellowstone Canyon - one of the longest and deepest of the world's chasms, and perhaps the most color-splashed of all. Marvel at its majestic waterfall, twice as high as Niagara. 
Rail fares this summer are down to rock bottom, and so are the prices in the Park-complete 31/2 day tour of the magic wonderland costing only $45.00 if you stop at the big hotels... $38.00 if you put up at the lodges. 
When you "Go Burlington" your travel dollars buy the most. The 90 mile motor trip over the famous Cody Road through Shoshone Canyon and over the Absaroka Mountains is included in your Park tour without extra cost. Tickets can be routed through Colorado including Denver and Colorado Springs (and right alongside the Black Hills of South Dakota) at no additional rail fare. You may include transportation to Glacier National Park for a few dollars more.  
Two weeks is ample time to visit both Yellowstone and Glacier
"Go Burlington." Go in luxury aboard the North Coast Limited. This famous train will be completely air-conditioned this summer. It carries through-Pullmans direct to and from Cody and Gardiner gateways. . . takes you to Yellowstone over the shortest route and in the fastest time.
Whether you travel in. dependently or prefer to join a congenial group on an all-expense Escorted Tour, "Go Burlington."
