Buffalo Bill Cody Scenic Byway
National Forest Scenic Byway — Shoshone National Forest · Wapiti, Wyoming
The last stretch of the road from Cody to Yellowstone's East Entrance, about 27 miles through the Wapiti Valley of the Shoshone National Forest along the North Fork of the Shoshone River. Eroded volcanic cliffs line the valley in fantastic shapes, including the Holy City, historic dude ranches and lodges dot the river, the Wapiti Ranger Station of 1903 stands beside the road, and at the park boundary is Pahaska Tepee, Buffalo Bill's hunting lodge of 1904. Grizzlies are often seen from the road in spring. Beyond, the road over Sylvan Pass into Yellowstone closes in winter. Theodore Roosevelt is often quoted as calling the road to Yellowstone's East Entrance the most scenic 50 miles in the United States.
