About this postcard

The Roosevelt Arch spans the road at Gardiner, Montana, its stone face carrying the inscription "For the Benefit and Enjoyment of the People." A low stone wall and fence run alongside, and a small red-roofed building shows through the opening. Built of local basalt, the arch marked the north entrance to Yellowstone National Park and the start of the road along the Gardiner River to Mammoth Hot Springs. Gardiner was the railroad terminus and the northern entrance for visitors coming to the park. The arch is named for Theodore Roosevelt, who laid its cornerstone in 1903.
