Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire A trip to Cody

Sounds like your only mistake was not soaking in Thermop on your way home.

Rolled through there this past summer 😎 I came down the mountain, but I would say the 60 mile climb to Sylvan Pass in Yellowstone NP is a must for anyone spending a period of days in Cody, one could do that and take in the Hayden and Lamar Valleys in Yellowstone in a long day, easy.

Been through the Canyon and the Museum once about 11 yrs ago and loved it. Had lunch at Irma’s. I’ve wanted to go back with more time to spend ever since. Age is coming on strong so I probably won’t make it back. I’m proud to have gone when I did.

Spent most of an afternoon there close to 30 years ago when the kids were little. Been planning to go back ever since with a little more time.

Agreed well worth the trip and staying over. With modern speed limits and traffic on the interstate what it is during construction season a shun-piking scenic route can have little or no time penalty.

The displays are marvelously well done. In the modern tradition there is an effort to involve the viewer as well as show marvels under glass.

The captions struck me as showing a little bit of the famous lines from Liberty Valence printing the legend when the history might be a little bit controversial meaning mostly in the sense of uncertain and argued over. I wonder what Shrapnel and others might say about some of the Custer/Little Big Horn references?

Folks might not know that there is a sustained effort to show a little of everything. FREX a competition belt rig from Julie Golob to go with Annie Oakley memorabilia and the many antiquities.

Weather and season matter maybe more than a little bit. In good weather it's a day trip for me. In bad weather not so much. There are a number of less traveled roads in the Park that don't go anyplace for locals to picnic away from traffic and go home.
