  Visit this complex of five museums covering Plains Indian cultures, firearms, and regional natural history.

Old Trail Town is outdoors; comfortable walking shoes are necessary for uneven dirt paths.

  Stop at the reservoir for views of the dramatic rock formations and the Shoshone River canyon.

• Buffalo Bill Cody Scenic Byway

  Drive the North Fork corridor toward the mountains, watching for bighorn sheep and elk along the river.

Allow 2–3 hours round trip; conditions vary with weather and wildlife traffic.

Strong winds are common around the reservoir; keep car doors secured at overlooks.

• Dead Indian Pass

  Ascend to the overlook for panoramic views of the Sunlight Basin and the Absaroka Mountains.

• Shoshone National Forest

  Access established trailheads for high-elevation hiking in the nation's first national forest.

Verify road status at Dead Indian Pass during early summer or autumn as snow is frequent.
