The Canyon Hotel was built in Yellowstone National Park in 1910 by the Yellowstone Park Company to accommodate visitors to the area of the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone and Yellowstone Falls. The hotel was built on a huge scale with a perimeter measurement of one mile. Situated on a hill to the west of the falls it dominated the landscape. It had an elegant resort-like air when first built. After World War II it was regarded by the National Park Service as outdated.
