We took this trip to Yellowstone and surrounding areas in the summer of 2019.
We drove straight through Cody without stopping in order to secure a camping site in Buffalo Bill State Park, which was just to the west of the city. Once we had a place to spend the night, we drove back into Cody. We took time on this trip to admire the rugged scenery along the Shoshone River.
We took care of business while in town, such as do our laundry and eat lunch at Subway and stop by the visitor center. For some reason I didn’t get any photos of Cody. So here are 2 off the Internet.
Apparently, they put on shows in the middle of the street, but we didn’t witness any.
Since we were set for the night and had taken care of all our chores, the drive back to the campground was more leisurely. We stopped along the way through Shoshone Canyon to admire the view of the two tunnels.
And the canyon below them.
On the other side of the second tunnel we stopped to walk around the dam. The view looking back down the canyon. You can see the first tunnel in the distance.
The view from on top of the dam.
See the stairs? We weren’t allowed down there, that was for authorized personnel only.
The dammed Shoshone River made a good-sized mountain lake.
Looking back at the dam.
Finished at the dam, we returned to Buffalo Bill State Park to set up on our site.
