This segment of our trip takes us from Yellowstone/Grand Tetons to Cody Wyoming.
Cody was one of the last places in the West to be developed. Wyoming
became a state in 1890 and Cody followed in 1895. Oh there
were a few cattle ranches as early as 1878 and before that the
area was inhabited by Crow Indians.
From Moran Junction, Wyoming we head to the Yellowstone South Entrance. We will remain in Yellowstone heading North then turning East at Fishing Bridge
(Hwy 14-16-20) to Cody. We enter Cody at the Yellowstone East Entrance.

The Shoshone National Forest consists of 2.4 million acres and surrounds

created in 1891 by President Benjamin Harrison and consists
of sagebrush flats and rugged mountains

As we head toward Cody with some
great views as we travel, we are just a few miles

This was a great short travel from Yellowstone to Cody. Great views, nice pulloffs and great weather as we travelled.
