Ranchester

Take I-90 exit 9 to take US-14 into Yellowstone National Park. This highway climbs over the 9,000+ foot Granite Pass, then descends down Shell Canyon to cross the Big Horn River at Greybull. Continuing on, through Cody, it is another 100 miles to the Yellowstone entrance station.

Sheridan

A portal to Wyoming's Big Horn Mountains and gateway to Yosemite National Park, Sheridan is primarily outdoors-oriented. The nearby Big Horn National Forest offers fishing, hiking, biking and camping (and rock climbing) when there is no snow on the ground and snowmobiling, downhill or cross country skiing when there is. Hunting and fishing are also very popular attracting people from all over the world.
  There is a lot of history here, too, especially from the 19th Century frontier days. Little Big Horn National Monument, the Rosebud Battle site and many other historic sites are just a short drive from Sheridan.

Buffalo

Jim Gatchell Museum - Dedicated to preserving the history of this area around the famous Bozeman Trail, the Jim Gatchell Museum has on display the American West of the 19th Century. Over 15,000 artifacts are on display including old firearms ("...that tamed the West") and other pioneer and Native American items. Photographs tell many stories of frontier times, the hardships and final triumph.
  Open 9a to 7p daily. Admission: $4 adults; $2 kids 6 to 16.
  For more information phone 1-307-684-9331 or visit their web site: JimGatchell.
