Red Squirrel, Yellowstone National Park – September 15, 2007
The American Red Squirrel (Tamiasciurus hudsonicus) is one of two species of tree squirrel currently classified in the genus Tamiasciurus and known as pine squirrels (the other is the Douglas Squirrel T. douglasii). It is a medium sized (200–250 g) diurnal mammal that defends a year-round exclusive territory. The diet of these tree squirrels is specialized on the seeds of conifer cones. As such, they are widely distributed across North America wherever conifers are common, except on the Pacific coasts where they are replaced by Douglas Squirrels. Recently American Red Squirrel have been expanding their range to include primarily hardwood areas. Wikipedia

Lake Yellowstone Hotel is the oldest surviving hotel in Yellowstone National park and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
The hotel is mentioned in the June 30,1894 issue of The Journal of the American Medical Association, “On this boat we took passage to the northern end of the lake near its outlet into the Yellowstone River. We here found a good hotel, the Lake House, where we stopped for the third night of our tour through the Park.”
An 1887 report to the Secretary of the Interior says, “The Lake House has one wing completed, and this is all that is need until the tide of travel sets more in that direction. It is one of the pleasantest, best kept hotels in the Park, and deserves more patronage than it has yet received. I regard it as the most desirable place in the Park for a prolonged stay.”

We had stopped for a picnic on the Gardiner River on the way south after having gone out of Yellowstone National Park into Gardner, Montana. I spotted this guy in the distance on a hillside above the river.
