Billings, Aug. Is, 1924.

Dear Sir:
Your article headed: Billings

exactly the truth regarding "The
Gallatin Way" the beautiful West
Gallatin canyon road to the yell
lowstone Park. 1t is one of the
most beautiful in Montana.
Mr.. McNellis of this city, leaves
Billings in a few days, to return
by way of the West Gallatin can
yon' A civil engineer whom 1 met
N the Livingston tourist park as
l came home Tuesday, changed his
route after 1 told him the truth
ABBOTT the road, and went to Boze-
man instead, to spend the night
and go In the park the following
morning by way of the "Gallatin
Way and the west entrance.
All the entrances to the park
are beautiful, but the East, West
n South are the most wonder
fully beautiful and scenic of all.
My choice, however, is the Gal
latin canyon and the Madison can
yon, with their wonderful, restful
mountain scenery of fifty or more
miles of cascades.
Thanks for your efforts in bring
ing the truth to the travellers, and
hoping many read it, / remain,
Yours very truly,
