The east gateway to Yellowstone (53 mi from the East Entrance) and home of the Buffalo Bill Center of the West — a Smithsonian Affiliate with five museums under one roof. Nightly summer rodeo, the historic Irma Hotel, and one of America's great scenic drives into the park. A perfect long-day trip from Sheridan, or the far end of a Bighorns loop.

Yellowstone National Park (East / Cody entrance)WY
~200 mi · ~4 hr to the East Entrance (via Cody)
The big one. The East Entrance via Cody is one of the most scenic approaches in the system. Doable as a long day to the Lamar Valley/NE via Beartooth, but far better as an overnight — and Sheridan is the crowd-free, better-value place everyone else drives past on the way. Ask us about routing over the Bighorns and through Cody.
