Founded by Colonel William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody who passed through the region in the 1870s. Cody is

located along the Shoshone River and is nestled between the Beartooth and Absaroka Mountains. The

border of Colorado, through dinosaur county via Vernal, Utah, and through Flaming Gorge and arriving

The ride from Rock Springs to Cody will take you through some very scenic areas of Wyoming. This route

will take you by South Pass City, a former station on the Oregon Trail, Lander, Shoshoni, Thermopolis,

Meeteetse and onto Cody, Wyoming.

Day 4 - 6 Aug 1st to 3rd

During our stay in Cody we have two awesome spoke rides planned. A ride to Red Lodge, Montana

finishing out the day via the Beartooth Pass and Chief Joseph Highway. Our other spoke ride will be up

to Burgess Junction for lunch and then back down through Shell Canyon with a stop at the falls.

Thursday will be a day to do more riding on your own exploring Yellowstone National Park or maybe a

short ride to visit Cooke City, Montana. If you don’t feel like riding maybe a visit to the museum is for

you.
