Paradise Inn opened on July 4, 1917, advertised as a place "where the flowers and the glaciers meet." Tourists arrived wearing long skirts and woolen traveling suits, seeking "a renewal of spirit in the vast world out-of-doors." Entering the grand lobby or the dining room with its large timbers and massive stone fireplaces evokes an earlier era, and its rustic architecture is typical of early National Park Service buildings. Now designated a National Historic Landmark, the inn is shown here in 1920.
