Yellowstone National Park
1. It is forbidden to remove or injure the sediments or incrustations
around the geysers, hot springs, or steam vents; or to deface the same
by written inscription or otherwise; or to throw any substance into
the springs or geyser vents; or to injure or disturb, in any manner,
or to carry off any of the mineral deposits, specimens, natural
curiosities, or wonders within the park.
2. It is forbidden to ride or drive upon any of the geyser or hot
spring formations, or to turn loose stock to graze in their vicinity.
3. It is forbidden to cut or injure any growing timber. Camping
parties will be allowed to use dead or fallen timber for fuel.
4. Fires shall be lighted only when necessary, and completely
extinguished when not longer required. The utmost care should be
exercised at all times to avoid setting fire to the timber and grass,
and any one failing to comply therewith shall be peremptorily removed
from the park.
5. Hunting or killing, wounding, or capturing of any bird or wild
animal, except dangerous animals, when necessary to prevent them from
destroying life or inflicting an injury, is prohibited. The outfits,
including guns, traps, teams, horses, or means of transportation used
by persons engaged in hunting, killing, trapping, ensnaring, or
capturing such birds or wild animals, or in possession of game killed
in the park under other circumstances than prescribed above, will be
forfeited to the United States, except in cases where it is shown by
satisfactory evidence that the outfit is not the property of the
person or persons violating this regulation, and the actual owner
thereof was not a party to such violation. Firearms will only be
permitted in the park on the written permission of the Superintendent
thereof. On arrival at the first station of the park guard, parties
having firearms will turn them over to the sergeant in charge of the
station, taking his receipt for them. They will be returned to the
owners on leaving the park.
6. Fishing with nets, seines, traps, or by use of drugs or explosives,
or in any other way than with hook and line, is prohibited. Fishing
for purposes of merchandise or profit is forbidden by law. Fishing may
be prohibited by order of the Superintendent of the park in any of the
waters of the park, or limited therein to any specified season of the
year, until otherwise ordered by the Secretary of the Interior.
7. No person will be permitted to reside permanently or to engage in
any business in the park without permission, in writing, from the
Department of the Interior. The Superintendent may grant authority to
competent persons to act as guides, and revoke the same in his
discretion, and no pack trains shall be allowed in the park unless in
charge of a duly registered guide.
