A hammered tin pine tree is affixed to the firescreen on the hearth of this historic hotel, which opened in 1891. The warmth of its coppery color and the primitive nature of the jagged pine branches symbolize both a warm welcome to travelers and the rustic nature of the park itself. The logs waiting to be kindled and the well-used walls of the hearth itself have symbolized a warm and hospitable welcome to hotel guests, who began coming to this hotel by stagecoach over 100 years ago.
