Route from Cody, WY to Yellowstone in 13 min. May 2017
Some famous people whose opinions really count, feel the same. President Theodore Roosevelt called the stretch of highway between Cody, Wyoming and the East Gate of Yellowstone National Park “the fifty most beautiful miles in America”.
Named the Scenic Byway of Highway 20, aka the Wapiti Valley, the road is wedged into a valley shaped by the flow of the Shoshone River. The swath of wildness is charged with history and scenery. The Buffalo Bill Dam/Reservoir and Buffalo Bill State Park were worth the drive alone.

Yellowstone was the first national park in the U.S. and is also widely held to be the first national park in the world. Approximately 96 percent of the land area of Yellowstone National Park is located within the state of Wyoming. Another three percent is within Montana, with the remaining one percent in Idaho. The park is (63 mi; 101 km) north to south, and (54 mi; 87 km) west to east by air. Yellowstone is 2,219,789 acres (898,317 ha; 3,468 sq mi; 8,983 km²), comprising canyons, lakes, rivers and mountain ranges. Forests comprise 80 percent of the land area of the park; most of the rest is grassland. Lakes rivers cover five percent of the land area, with the largest water body being Yellowstone Lake at 87,040 acres (35,224 ha; 136 sq mi; 352 km²). Yellowstone Lake is up to (400 ft; 120 m) deep and has (110 mi; 180 km) of shoreline. At an elevation of (7,733 ft; 2,357 m) above sea level, Yellowstone Lake is the largest high elevation lake in North America.
The park sits on the Yellowstone Plateau, at an average elevation of (8,000 ft; 2,400 m) above sea level. The plateau is bounded on nearly all sides by mountain ranges of the Middle Rocky Mountains, which range from (9,000 to 11,000 ft; 2,700 to 3,400 m) in elevation. The highest point in the park is atop Eagle Peak (11,358 ft; 3,462 m) and the lowest is along Reese Creek (5,282 ft; 1,610 m). The most prominent summit on the Yellowstone Plateau is Mount Washburn at (10,243 ft; 3,122 m). The park contains 290 waterfalls of at least (15 ft; 4.6 m), the highest being the Lower Falls of the Yellowstone River at (308 ft; 94 m).
Yellowstone National Park is the centerpiece of the 20 million acres (8,093,712 ha; 31,250 sq mi; 80,937 km²) Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem, a region that includes Grand Teton National Park, adjacent National Forests and expansive wilderness areas in those forests. The ecosystem is the largest remaining continuous stretch of mostly undeveloped pristine land in the contiguous United States, considered the world's largest intact ecosystem in the northern temperate zone.
Over 1,700 species of trees and other vascular plants are native to the park. Another 170 species are considered to be exotic species and are non-native. Of the eight conifer tree species documented, Lodgepole Pine forests cover 80 percent of the total forested areas. Other conifers, such as Subalpine Fir, Engelmann Spruce, Rocky Mountain Douglas-fir and Whitebark Pine, are found in scattered groves throughout the park.
Hundreds of species of mammals, birds, fish, and reptiles have been documented. The vast forests and grasslands also include unique species of plants. Yellowstone Park is the largest and most finest megafauna wildlife habitat. There are almost 60 species of mammals in the park, including the timber wolf, coyote, lynx, and grizzly bears. Other large mammals include the bison, black bear, elk, moose, mule deer, white-tailed deer, mountain goat, pronghorn, bighorn sheep, and cougar live in this park.
Hundreds of species of birds have been reported, almost half of which nest in Yellowstone. In 1999, twenty-six pairs of nesting bald eagle were documented. Extremely rare sightings of whooping cranes have been recorded, however only three examples of this species are known to live in the Rocky Mountains, out of 385 known worldwide. Other birds, considered to be species of special concern because of their rarity in Yellowstone, include the common loon, harlequin duck, osprey, peregrine falcon and the trumpeter swan.

Along the Upper Loop Road at Yellowstone National Park
The National Park Service produced this video of Along the Upper Loop Road at Yellowstone National Park. For more videos, visit
Mud Geyser, Hayden Valley, Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, United States, North America
Hayden Valley is a large, sub-alpine valley in Yellowstone National Park straddling the Yellowstone River between Yellowstone Falls and Yellowstone Lake. The valley floor along the river is an ancient lake bed from a time when Yellowstone Lake was much larger. The valley is well known as one of the best locations to view wildlife in Yellowstone. The valley was the natural route to Yellowstone Lake as trappers, explorers and natives made their way up the Yellowstone River. On August 29, 1870 when Henry D. Washburn and Gustavus Cheyney Doane ascended Mount Washburn during the Washburn-Langford-Doane Expedition, they saw the great expanse of the Hayden Valley between Yellowstone Falls and the lake. In Doane's journal he described the valley as seen from Mount Washburn thus: a grassy valley, branching between low ridges, running from the river toward the center of the basin. A small stream rose in this valley, breaking through the ridges to the west in a deep cañon, and falling into the channel of the Yellowstone, which here bears in a northeast course, flowing in view as far as the confluence of the small stream, thence plunged into the Grand Cañon, and hidden from sight. No falls can be seen, but their location is readily detected by the sudden disappearance of the river; beyond this open valley the basin appears to be filled with a succession of low, converging ridges, heavily timbered, and all of about an equal altitude. To the south appears a broad sheet of water the Yellowstone Lake. Although its clear that the valley is named in honor of Ferdinand Vandeveer Hayden and his geological surveys of the Yellowstone region (his 1871 survey led to the creation of the park), there is little definitive evidence as to who actually named the valley. Some credit the Earl of Dunraven, during his visit in 1872, but the name first appeared on maps in 1880 in an annual report from superintendent Philetus Norris. The Hayden valley is approximately 7 miles (11 km) long north to south and 7 miles (11 km) wide east to west and occupies about 50 square miles (130 km2) of the park. It lies mostly the west of the Yellowstone River between Canyon and Yellowstone Lake. The Canyon to Lake section of the Grand Loop Road follows the eastern side of the valley near the river. The geothermal features that are scattered around the valley are not as impressive as those of the large geyser basins, but in many case they were the first to be discovered and described by the early explorers. They include Mud Volcano, Mud Geyser, Sulphur Caldron, and Black Dragon Caldron at the southern end of the valley and Sulphur Spring in the Crater Hills group further north and west of the river. The Hayden Valley is outstanding wildlife habitat and is frequented by buffalo, elk, grizzly bears, coyote and a host of smaller mammals and birds. To protect this habitat and prevent disturbing wildlife, the valley is closed to off-trail foot travel. Two trails make the valley accessible for hikers the Hayden Valley trail and the Mary Mountain trail. The valley trail parallels the river on the eastern side of the valley from Lake to Canyon, while the Mary Mountain trail skirts the northern edge of the valley along Alum Creek on its way to the Canyon-Lake road. All the rivers, creeks and ponds in the valley are closed to fishing.

Yellowstone National Park
A day in Yellowstone National Park. July 15, 2013, with my son and my wife. Sure wish I had a week to spend in the park. 1 day was barely enough to drive the perimeter loop of the park, let alone actually see the interior and all it has to offer. Either way it was magnificent. I never thought I would see Yellowstone and now I have video of the experience.

Top 5 Resorts Near Yellowstone Video (HD)
Many visitors to Yellowstone choose stay in the park at one of the many lodges, or at campsites with their vehicles. However, you usually have to book way in advance to get the best spots, so finding the right place to stay near the park can be a make or break aspect for your enjoyment at America's premier national park.
When deciding where to stay near Yellowstone, I look for a couple of things: proximity to the park, comfort and style of the facilities, and activities other than the park that may be available nearby.
Using these criteria, I've compiled a list of my 5 favorite places stay. This list is by no means definitive. I have stayed at places that are very nice that check all my boxes on the list, but to be on this list, there has to be something special about the place that makes it different than anywhere else.
That's why the Best Western in Cody isn't on here, even though it's a great place to stay. Or the Buffalo Bill Cabins adjacent to that property.
So enjoy the video, feel free to ask questions and above all....GET TO YELLOWSTONE NOW!
8 Day Yellowstone Road Trip - Amazing Landscapes and Wildlife
My dad and I for our annual vacation together, did an 8 day road trip starting in Rapid City, SD to Salt Lake City, UT. Our main places to visit were Mount Rushmore and Yellowstone, but we saw so much other great sights along the way.
We started out with a way too early 6am flight out of LAX, connected through SLC, then finally to Rapid City where we picked up our Chevy Traverse, which ended up getting 23mpg for the trip.
I heard about Wall Drugs so I figured we'd stop there, you really need to stop there since there's a billboard every mile along the way. More curiosity than anything at that point, but it's just a tourist trap, bunch of shops and stuff. We ate at a bad restaurant nearby, not many choices unfortunately.
Our next stop was the Badlands National Park, amazing landscapes there, and some prairie dogs, bison and deer. We then drove to Keystone to check into our hotel and it was still light out so we went to Mount Rushmore instead of at sunrise. It was great, hardly any people, nice light, except they charge a parking fee, even though my dad has the senior national park pass.
Day 2 we started with a nice free breakfast, saw a few deer right there at the hotel, then made our way to Custer State Park in search of bison. The lady at the visitor center told us where to find the herd, and she was right. We saw hundreds of them, some even came up to the car.
The next stop was the Crazy Horse Memorial, but it was foggy and we couldn't see it, they gave us half price admission to the museum though. After that we drove to Lead to find a Hawaiian restaurant I found on Yelp, but it was closed. We ended up eating at a nice place in Deadwood, then drove to Sturgis to check it out. Then back to Deadwood where I had the biggest piece of meat ever. It had to be 50 ounces of prime rib, excellent meat too, I was very surprised. I ate about 2/3 of it, that was just crazy.
Our third day was a long 7 hour drive to Cody, we stopped at Devil's Tower, then Little Bighorn, ending up in Cody and found a Chinese Buffet that was pretty good.
The fourth day we finally made it to Yellowstone, saw some of the sights on the way to the North entrance where we stayed just outside of the park. Saw lots of wildlife and some thermal mudpots, pretty cool stuff.
The fifth day we saw the rest of Yellowstone including Old Faithful, which wasn't as impressive as we expected. It must be rare to get a huge eruption, and it was so crowded, had to be a few thousand people there just waiting for something to happen.
Our sixth day we went to West Yellowstone to check out the Grizzly & Wolf Discovery Center to see them up close. It was worth the trip, impressive animals, we also had a good breakfast, way better than inside the park. Late that afternoon we took a four hour wildlife tour, saw some bears, bighorn sheep, pronghorn, mule deer, mountain goats, and about a thousand bison.
Day seven we left Yellowstone and drove through The Grand Tetons National Park. The Tetons are impressive, great views of the mountains and lakes there, and we saw more bison, some blocking the road. We had lunch in Jackson at a good Thai restaurant, unfortunately we planned to have dinner at a good place for my dad's birthday, but we go there too early and they were closed. We changed our plans on staying in Idaho Springs to just drive to Salt Lake City where we got a free room at the Sheraton and had a nice free dinner in the Club Lounge.
Our final day, we had some time to kill so we went to the Antelope Island State Park, saw more bison, the Great Salt Lake, but didn't stay too long because of the smell. We stopped by Cabela's on the way to the airport, then headed home finally.
Unfortunately we landed in LAX at 4pm, sat in traffic for over an hour, picked up my dad's iPhone 7, his birthday present, set it up, had a quick dinner, then I headed home.
It was a great trip, we saw so much and covered so much ground, and my dad crossed of a few things on his bucket list.
Here's a breakdown of our expenses:
Flights $931.40
Rental Car $800.00
Hotels $1281.82
Food $421.71
Tours $238.09
Parking $100.75
Total $3971.58
