- 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.

Travelled this road a few years ago on a motorcycle trip with three of my best friends. A once in a lifetime adventure. Every mile was beautiful. Thanks for allowing me to relive it!!!
O.m.g. I miss home so bad I'm from graybull Wyoming I can't count the times I have been to the park ,,,my parents use to try to get us kids to hold our breath through the tunnels ,,, the first two or ez but the third one is impossible ,,, thank you for posting this ,,, I can't wate to come home some day,,, my big Horn mountains God bless us one and all
We’re fortunate enough to have a cabin off this road up by Pahaska Tepee and it is beautiful. Love the area. So clean and so beautiful. We go as much as possible. Love the mountains, rivers and lakes. Great therapy.
I am fortunate enough to have lived in Yellowstone for three years in the 60s and this was the way we first came in it’s the way I still come in every time I can go back my family loves all of this we do it as often as we can but I live in Maine so we’re longer away from Yellowstone than I have ever been so thanks for the great video and letting may have a good glimpse of my most unforgettable day the day I came to Yellowstone to live it is always great therapy for me whenever I go and whenever I leave it’s alwaysGot wrenching and heartbreaking I hate leaving Yellowstone the day we moved out was one of the worst days of my life
6-18-2019 WOW..just Beautiful, Thank you for making me smile. God Bless the USA.
One of the most scenic and incredible roads I have had the pleasure to ride! I hope to do it again someday.
Maaan I remember this. Wyoming is so beautiful, thanks for uploading!!
And don't forget the unending wind!
went on a road trip going out west and passed through that road, and being born and raised in NYC , let me tell you, this was road was amazing to see in person and i miss it so much, the scenery is so beautiful!!
Same
Wyoming is the most beautiful state of the lower 48, possibly rivaled only by Montana. Love that place!
Wyoming is rivaled by no other place!
My friend is a trucker. Went with him one time. From Missouri to Seattle. Wyoming was absolutely the most beautiful state we went thru.. Just beautiful.
Took this same route 3 months ago! Such an amazing and life changing place. Me and my dad went, I’m 22 he’s 53. Such a great trip that I’ll never forget. It snowed the day we flew in and we had to stay in cody and a few other towns a few nights before finally being able to make our reservations inside the park. Awesome footage!
Thank you for beautiful comment. Austin!
Amazing how much you forget in 3 weeks time. Thanks for videoing it. Wyoming is the best.
Thank you!!!
Beautiful country there! Love the music too. Thank you!
One of the most beautiful roads i've ever seen!
Thanks for sharing this-I just got home from Yellowstone this week. That drive is amazing-I never thought to film-I glad to have this memory preserved-even if it is your memory! LOL!
Love your accompanying music( fabuleous)!. The scenery beyond description.
Went when it was covered in snow! Absolutely amazing
lots of grizzles roaming the land on this gorgeous drive...
Incredible views!
Beautiful video. I love the lively music you've chosen for background music. Wyoming is a beautiful State. A BIG State with a lot of variety of scenery to see and things to do.
I was in a canyon that took hours to ride through. Then a train and I were playing leap frog for about 50 miles!
Thank you for sharing. Next best thing to being there.
Visiting in 3 days! Thanks for sharing - I knew it would be nice, but this is a great preview!
Thank you so much for posting this. It brought back memories of the last weekend adventure I took with my husband.
Brings back great memories of living there in 2005
Thank you!!!!
Truly beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing! Happy 2019!
Haven't been to this part of the country. Thank you for taking me along! It is a wonderful scene! 😅😅
Thank you!
You would love it....I always stay in Gardnier....so close to everything and just 100 feet from Yellowstone entrance and right close to Mammoth. From there...wonders await you all over. I prefer Hayden Valley for the bison, wolves, elk herds, etc. The geysers are fantastic....and colorful. Trout fishing...great ! !
From Cody on into Yellowstone is really beautiful...very scenic drive
Thank you so much for this video. It means a lot to me. I drove that stretch of road in 2016, but unfortunately, it was nighttime when I left Yellowstone. I always wanted to see the beautiful scenery that I missed that night while driving to Cody. ❤
Lovely drive caught to drive going the other way I remember it beautiful
Was there in July 2020 and my wife and I enjoyed it very much.
We are going to Yellowstone in June and are thinking of going from Yellowstone to Cody when done. This video has me convinced! I've been through there before but it was a very long time ago and my hubby has never gone.
Thank you! I'm glad.
My family and I did this trip in June 2018. Beautiful.
everything is seems big in america, i love to watch beauty of western america,
amazing video. enjoyed every moment. this video inspires me to visit there once more to Yellowstone !!
Love your Video! No one else has posted one for this Route. It's magnificent and so is the background music you chose!
Just got back. Made this drive last week. Such beautiful country out there.
Thank you!!!! :)
I grew up driving on this road!
This is a great road to drive on. It's very beautiful and peaceful.
Me too me too I'm from graybull Wyoming
Mr Cross how is the road for pulling a 32 ft fifth wheel?
Is that the N F Shoshone River?
Beautiful landscapes!
this brings back memories when we went to yellow stone from Cody 8/8/2016, I wish I can go back in time.
I'd like to go back to amazing Yellowstone. I hope i I will.
Well done video record of your drive. The music was just right and a nice touch. Thank you for sharing this. NW Montana
Thanks for the ride!
Took this road back in May 2012. So incredibly beautiful! Will have to do it again.
I dont appreciate your upside down flag! America is in trouble but we all can do our part and things will turn around again. Don't give up on our country! Fight for it!
@@neildewitt2869 What you appreciate or don't I honestly could care less about!! If your sensitive feelings are OFFENDED then Stay the hell off my comments!!!! The republic is in duress, and because of that I hang the star & stripes as I do!! I've NOT GIVEN up in the least!!!!! But to not hang the flag in this manner is to be in DENIAL of the reality we are currently in!!!!! Good day.
Oh, I love cody they have a great museum. The Buffalo Bill museum of the Wild West to be precise.
Went there several times when we lived in Wapiti. Spectacular place.
Yes, the museum was recommended to us by the hotel clerk. Great friendly place.
Don't miss the found in the ground museum also. Some great weapons their.
I love Wyoming and have been to Cody. I love the West.
Me too!
A favorite drive of mine. Thank You for sharing.
been there….Awesome❤️🇺🇸🙏
Wij hebben genoten van deze trip
I did that drive 8 times 3 weeks ago and wish I could do it everyday for the rest of my life. 🎅🏻🏴☠️🏔
a nice drive....ended up watching a lot of it for some strange reason :)
Thank you!
I noticed that you have a small number of subscribers. I don't mind subscriber into your channel but I'm looking for people who need and want to help me to thank you so much for reading this message
I used to live in Wapiti in North Fork. Right in front of Jim Mountain. Above the fire station. First house on the ridge line. Spectacular view. I really miss it.
For you folks who like the odd bits, there is a statue of the Manner's Big Boy in a field on the south(left) side of the interstate about six miles from the big tunnel on the left. No one knows why its there. A few miles closer to Yellowstone...also on the left...is a huge unfinished house.
Can you tell me what road this is? We will be going mid September. Red Lodge, Silver Gate, then into Lamar Valley. I want to take this road if possible.
Beautiful drive. Going next month.
some people may find that boring? i love this country! that video shows how beautiful this land of the free really is. i would love to ride up to one of those reaches, and pay good price just to hang out, maybe help the cowboys that work there. Wyoming, Montana, the west is still the wild, wild west to me. you can head to the mountains, wide open space an just get lost for as long as you want. I LOVE IT!!
beautilfull landscape, ..... I love it ¡¡
Me too :) Thank you!
Awesome video. Thanks for sharing. Good music too
I need to try this 🙏
When I get to Lamar, I always take 20 up through Wind River to Cody, and then go into the park
A great trip every time..
My wife and I lived in Worland for 18 months....roughly 1.5 hrs from Cody.... One weekend we drove through Cody towards yellowstone... We got through these 1st set of tunnels to the lake or reservoir.... We stopped there.... Walked around a little while at the visitor center.... And then went back home..... groceries in the car from Walmart..... This was a little over a year ago....
Did the trip last fall from the midwest. Spent 4 days traveling thru Yellowstone Park. We based out of the Cody side about 1/2 way distance wise from Cody and the park. Best place to enter the park and see the most is from either the north or west Yellowstone area. Just my thoughts. We drove the east route 4 times, first time your excited about what you see but 3 & 4 time is about getting thru that aea to see new area, and you really don't see anything until after you cross over the divide and see Yellowstone Lake. Tat time, September was the best, I mean, no traffic.Like having the place to your self. Great place!
I drove this in the snow in October a great scenic road
Lovely video! Cheers from Toronto Canada.
I done that drive last year beautiful
Yes is so beautiful i just came from over there and i thought monterrey México had a lot mountain's but I was wrong when we saw Wyoming specially cody and Yellowstone so beautiful
We loved going to Cody and that beautiful drive over from Yellowstone was awesome
We drove through this stretch on two back to back days onward and back as I was staying off the East entrance. Desolate, scenic and a bit snow swept in the Fall. We saw a few foxes on the brush off the road. Fun experience!
Can you tell me what road this is?
@@shirleyduncan3653 An example route - basically looked up a motel in Cody and routed to YNP from the motel. www.google.com/maps/dir/Yellowstone+National+Park/1407+8th+St,+Cody,+WY+82414/@44.439879,-109.6389057,10.83z/data=!4m14!4m13!1m5!1m1!1s0x5351e55555555555:0xaca8f930348fe1bb!2m2!1d-110.588455!2d44.427963!1m5!1m1!1s0x534c1ed62f75c9f3:0xf8d7963da7b92749!2m2!1d-109.0727526!2d44.5221679!3e0
Thank you I will check to see if that’s what we will be taking. Can’t wait!
@@shirleyduncan3653 Sure. Just to be clear while this route (to the Eastern entrance of YNP) has its charm it is relatively far; the other access points to the Park tend to be a bit closer. I had 8 days in the area so spent 3-4 days in the South (Moose) exploring Grand Teton and South/West YNP and 2 days off the N.E entrance (Cooke City) exploring the N/E sides of the park and also this one. You can cherry-pick per your interests and # days!
Wow, what a Pretty drive =D
Thank you!
The tunnels were in the film "The Vanishing" 1993 with Jeff Bridges.
Cool, I didn't know it.
This is a great ride with a motorcycle. I've done it several times and would never waste my time in a cage like that (unless I had kids along of course) The roads out there are perfect for bikes and I can't imagine doing it on anything but a motorcycle.
ONLY TWO WAYS TO SEE THE CREATION...ONE BY HORSE AND THE OTHER BY MOTORCYCLE...
Thank you for this, My daughter and I are going this summer and are looking for some scenic drives from lake Yellowstone hotel when we are free from our group. We were hoping to head East to Cody, just not sure how long of a drive.
The president said that because he had never seen "north west Montana" and "northern Idaho."
it looks just like the Swiss alps in that part of the country.
Up around Glacier nation park and Idaho is the most beautiful places in America for mountains.
You will have to go to Alaska or Russia to see more.
However (wapiti valley) - highway 20 is a very lovely drive in the spring and summer time
I like the Tetons more than NW MT and ID. Eye of the beholder...
@@MatthewC137 sure !!!
I'm also bia'st........
Glacier National Park is pretty awesome too.
I'll agree with the lonely part..
I'll have to disagree!
No place rivals our beloved Wyoming!
@@VesparRepublic your opinion but even Colorado is prettier than why.
Great video - good music too!
anyone... Want to visit wyoming... I can not go till December... I really do not ski or do winter sports.....I need a place to move to.... Wyoming sounds and looks great.... But want to check things out... Is it worth going that time of year?
Looks like you didn’t get any replies. That’s a shame because the answer is YES ! Wyoming and other mountain states in the west are very much worth visiting in winter even if you don’t do winter sports. If you just enjoy the majesty of the mountains, the miracle of herds of elk and mountain goats, pine forests, thickly falling snow, etc., you will be amazed by states like Wyoming, Montana, Idaho in wintertime. We are blessed to live on the world’s most beautiful continent, North America.
I was born in Cuba and I love my culture and people. I love Cuban food especially! But no place on earth- not even tropical paradises- can compare with the Rockies!
Beautiful drive. Beautiful music. Tell us about the music. I want to purchase the album.
Thank you! I But I can't help you with music, because don't remember. Sorry!
AMERICA THE BEAUTIFUL
That is awesome
SUPER .😀❤👍
Heading that way in 2 weeks!
Mid summer is the best time to see the wildlife, if you can get there before the influx of tourists!
lots of grizzlies
Nice, beautiful area. But I suggest getting a mount for the camera/phone and some phone/cameras have stabilizers so its not so wiggly or bouncy. It's easier on the viewer so they don't think it's the Blair Witch movie.
Amazing
Love seeing the pronghorn sheep
Pronghorn antelope. Bighorn sheep. Two different animals. There is a larger population of antelope than people in Wyoming! They are everywhere. But the bighorn sheep are just in certain, high, rocky areas.
Simply wondrous!!! Great music too; what is it? Ten years ago I drove along this way, the other way around. I'm planning to go there again September next!
And - thanks for good music!
Cool
Holy wow!
Beautiful footage. Debating in mid June to take either this way in or from the NE via beartooth. Any thoughts?
Did both .. both awesome, but this is a gorgeous scenic drive
I found that from the north side is so amazing if it's your first time! The climb is awesome going in, but the east side is also amazing even going out!
On a motorcycle is the best way to see it
Especially during a hail storm.
It has been 25 years since I’ve been out there and we took the road from Cody into the park and I have a memory of it but I can’t seem to find a section of road anywhere it’s where the cliff wall creates a tunnel like along the river but it’s missing the section of wall that would’ve formed a tunnel between it in the river if that makes sense. It was like a huge rock overhang jutted out over the road And I distinctly remember driving under it but yet I can find no evidence of that anywhere like it’s a false memory. Has anyone else seen what I’m attempting to describe?
I just went through this, the most beutiful drive on my 8000 mile journey. Please someone what is the name of this canyon?
Amaze
Hi I don't mind being a participating member of your channel but I need the same thank you so much
Bucket list
Sunlight basin from north side.
Any local Vietnamese and Asian restaurants plus Mexican restaurants nearby?
13 mins?
Was that the historic UXU Ranch you pulled over at?
Yes, It was close to historic UXU Ranch.
Unfortunately, we didn't have enough time to visit it. We had only 1 week vacation. We spend 2 days to ride from Dallas to Kody, 3 days in Yellowstone and 2 days back. I'd like to do it again.
What month was this filmed in ?
That's where Steve from Yellowstone lives he always calls into the Opie and Anthony show
RIP Steve Carlisi “Grrrrr”
i took the same way 1 week ago
That's beautiful? Its nothing but Rock! Go to the Great Smokey Mountains now that's beautiful.
one does not exclude the other :)
You must live in the Smokey mountains or close by. Step outside your world and experience other things and be open to beauty of all kinds. Nothing in this country compares to the majesty of the Rockies. Check out going to the sun road in Glacier or Wind River Canyon. Breathtaking what our country has to offer.
Your right, don’t come. Lots of snow, cold, rocks, wind. You won’t like it a bit, but that’s ok. It truly is not for everyone. I’m blessed to call it home.
Why are some of those tunnels not lined...feels a bit unsafe...
We took this route on motorcycles.
