Great Northern Railway spared no expense when developing "America's Little Switzerland." Their idea of "Seeing America First" was one that they plunged into with an eye toward the classic luxury that travelers from the East were accustomed to in the early 1900's. Their tours included every sort of transportation available in that day. People rode out from the East on the Great Northern train, rode horseback throughout the Park, stayed at the spectacular chalets and lodges, and took tours on the wooden boats. To this day, the boat tours remain an integral part of the Park experience.
