Cody, Wyoming, is a gateway to Yellowstone Park's east entrance. A short distance north of Cody you could take the turnoff and drive the Chief Joseph Scenic Highway through Wyoming's spectacular Sunlight Basin on the way to Cooke City, Montana, and the northeast entrance to Yellowstone Park. The Sunlight Basin is located in the midst of the majestic peaks of the Absaroka Mountains. Or, instead of taking the turn to Cooke City, you could take the turn to Red Lodge, Montana, and drive over the remarkable Beartooth Pass and Beartooth Mountains. During your stay in Cody, you'll enjoy shopping, vacationing at one of the area's fine dude ranches, or taking advantage of the area's outdoor recreational activities.
