The views are wonderful. Keep your camera at the ready. The terrain can change so quickly. Nice drive and lots of signs to educate you along the way as you look at the rocks. Full review by sandymcdaniel99

This national forest is less heavily populated than the more well known ones. We camped at Shell Creek and drove around from there. At an isolated fishing spot, a moose just kept eating and ignored u… Full review by Cynthia T

It is definitely most scenic. We did not go thru Cody because we turned north at Lovell to go to Billings. The drive time estimate from Sheridan to Lovell is about 2 hrs, depending on speed & stops. It would be another hour from Lovell to Cody. So that would get you to Yellowstone in early afternoon. Time enough to start seeing Yellowstone but not enough to see enough. Yellowstone is beautiful. Crowds should be less in September than August. Hope you can stay there a couple of days at least.

Q:
Hi, we will be driving a class C motorhome with a car in tow in August, is driving 14 or 14A going to be a problem? I was wondering whether or not to find a campground on either side and using the car for touring. Thanks. Judy
A:
We couldn't go on 14A because it was closed. Shouldn't be a problem with closure in August, but it wouldn't hurt to contact the Visitor's Center in Sheridan. They are pretty knowledgeable!
Q:

Dear Park or the KOA in Buffalo

Q:
We will be in the area early September and staying in Buffalo, WY for a night and then headed to Cody, WY. We only have time to drive one of the roads through Bighorn, We are thinking of either: 1. Drive Hwy 16 to Ten Sleep and then take Hwy 49 North so we can see Shell Falls and the head West on Hwy 14 into Cody or 2. Take Hwy 14 all the way through the Forest to Cody in which case we see Shell Falls but miss Ten Sleep. Any recommendations would be greatly appreciated.
A:
There is nothing i would go out your way to see in Ten Sleep. I know it has significance to many but spend your time in Cody. We wish we had spent 3-4 days in Cody. I would choose …
