You may also wake up to find a bison standing in front of your porch. Please remember that even though these animals may look slow, sleepy and pettable, they can be very quick and dangerous. Yellowstone National Park has 2,500 rooms, including 1,232 cabins. The rest are open only during the summer months. All these facilities are operated by the park's chief concessionaire, AmFac Parks and Resorts.
All cabins have private bathrooms.
The main lodge has an activities desk in the lobby, as well as restrooms, a lounge, a gift shop and several dining options. Canyon Village is a hopping-off spot for park visitors, so expect lots of traffic and plenty of people in the village itself. The community has a visitor information center along with a Hamilton Store, a post office and a photo shop. Dunraven Lodge, a 44 room, 3-story companion to Cascade, should be open by the summer of 1999. Both lodges, decorated with rustic lodgepole furniture, offer rooms with one and two double beds.
