What happened to the development at West Thumb?
A. West Thumb used to be home to a gas station, a marina, a photo shop, cafeteria, more than 100 cabins, and even a tennis court! In an effort to protect the fragile thermal features at West Thumb and to improve the quality of visitor experience here, all of the development except for the historic log Ranger Station and log restrooms were removed. The development at Grant mitigated the loss of facilities at West Thumb.
