Driving through Wyoming to Yellowstone

[GOutes]

Hey guys,
Leaving for our Elk hunt next Sunday and driving from Washington to Wind River range in a week. Any recommends on where to stay near yellowstone, 3/4 of the way through the drive?

We were going to go through Idaho and Utah, but thought Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming would be much more of a scenic drive.

I'd call ahead of time, but any thing in Silver City, Montana I think is a great area just out side of Yellowstone around 12,000'. Last time I was there we had a little campfire going out side the cabin watching billy goats feed across the hills about 800 feet above us.

Is silver city a town? I tried to pull it up on google and couldnt find it.

 

[GOutes]

I will check it out! THANKS SO MUCH!

and of course there is tons of stuff to do in cody but that takes a week to do everything. cooke city is right by the park line. you can drive a couple more miles to silver gate and glass for goats.. in cooke city there is a couple places to eat and plenty of places to gamble if you enjoy keno...

Yea sorry I had the two town names mixed up it cooke city and silver gate. There only 8 to 10 miles apart and
IMO have great views.

+1 above and check out the Bufflo Bill Cody Firearms Museum. It's a must see! Buy a Duck stamp support the ducks and use it to gain entry to yellowstone park. Duck stamps are good at all national parks for entry free access (per person).
