Grant Village Visitor Center
Although the location of this building is controversial (as it was built in prime grizzly bear habitat), the fire exhibits it features are fascinating. There is also a small gift shop on site.

West Thumb Ranger Station
The West Thumb Ranger Station is a perfect example of "parkitecture." Built in 1925, this building is a meeting place for summer ranger walks and a warming hut in the winter.

Native American Hearth Sites
Along the shoreline of the West Thumb, visitors can sometimes spot the original sites of Native American hearths.
