The Wapiti Valley (East Yellowstone Valley) connects Cody, WY to the east entrance of Yellowstone National Park. This highway (US 14-16-20, The Buffalo Bill Cody Scenic Highway) was called “the most scenic 50 miles in the world” by President Teddy Roosevelt. It passes by Buffalo Bill Dam and Reservoir, Buffalo Bill State Park, numerous interesting rock formations, and through the Shoshone National Forest (our nation’s first). Services include lodges, resorts, dude ranches, motels, campgrounds, restaurants, and gas stations. Recreational activities are abundant (hiking, horseback riding, wildlife viewing, fishing, photography, rafting and boating, mountain biking, hunting and many others). The Wapiti Valley is often utilized as a vacation home base while touring Yellowstone.
