Sawtooth Motorcycle Tours | Day 4 of Yellowstone Tour: Cody to Yellowstone

Day Four

SITE MAP AND RIDE

ROUTE LENGTH - 132 miles or 212 Kilometers

Pull Over Info We will ride through some beautiful country. Chief Joseph Scenic Byway is a great road for your Harley® and you will want to make sure your camera is ready. We will stop in Cooke City for gas and a look around. For the last couple of years they have been working on this road but all should be good now. Then we are back into the Park where we will make several stops at the Tourists attractions. We usually eat lunch at Tower Junction then ride south to the Canyon Village. We will take the opportunity to see this part of the park a couple of times during our visit.

Hotel Info For this evening we will be staying in the Park at the Canyon Lodge & Cabins. This is one of those properties the management takes great pride in maintaining as one could find it 100 years ago. So the amenities are a little light. For more information go to Canyon Lodge & Cabins.

Day four of the ride has us returning to Yellowstone National Park where we will have time to explore the natural wonders of Yellowstone. Departing Cody, we travel north and turn west onto the Chief Joseph Scenic Highway (Wyoming 296), which takes us through Cooke City and into the park at the northeast entrance. We will spend one or two evenings inside the park where we will visit many sights such as Old Faithful, the Upper & Lower Falls, historic Yellowstone lodges, Yellowstone Lake, Mammoth Hot Springs, the Grand Canyon of Yellowstone, Norris Geyser Basin and observe the wild animals that call Yellowstone their home.

We will traverse through the park to Canyon Village where we will check in to the hotel. Then head back up to Tower Junction in time to board the Wagon Train for dinner. A 3-4 mile ride in horse drawn wagons will bring us to the Old West campgrounds for dinner. When dinner is over we board the wagons to bring us back to the Tower Junction and the historic Roosevelt Lodge.

We mount the bikes for the ride back to Canyon Village. We need to ride cautiously, this is the time many animals will be out looking for their evening refreshments in the streams, crossing the roads, and generally reclaiming the land they claim to be their own. Once safely back some may choose to take the hike to the Upper and Lower Falls of the Canyon. If you go this can be a great hike, be warned, going down is much easier than going back up!
