Storm damages YNP’s oldest hotel

LAKE VILLAGE – Yellowstone National Park officials say a major storm blew down hundreds of trees Monday near Yellowstone Lake and damaged part of the park’s oldest hotel, Lake Hotel. Witnesses say about seven large pines fell against the roof of the new addition of Lake Hotel, which is 120 years old. It was built in 1903. The original Lake Hotel was built in 1891, years before Old Faithful was built in 1904. Miraculously, no one was hurt. Cleanup will continue in the weeks ahead.
