Locating The Top Motel Cody Wyoming Offers For Yellowstone Travelers

By Lila Barry


The primary advantage of staying in any motel Cody Wyoming has listed in the book is that it is likely to be perfect for visitors heading towards Yellowstone or coming back. Almost all visitors enter via US-14 or the regional airport will eventually want to drive another 50 miles to Yellowstone. The city therefore serves as a gateway for park visitors, with motels lined up all the way to the park.

Perhaps it would be helpful to backtrack a bit and explain the geography in more detail. Visitors passing through come either by road tracking the Shoshone River on US-14 from Powell, or land directly at Yellowstone Regional Airport. Either way, they must then drive through the city and then for another 50 miles on US-14-16-20 to the national park's east entrance.

The options for a place to stay begin with the airport, with motels in areas close to Beck Lake. This is a beautiful place conveniently located in between the airport and city. Lodgings near Beck Lake and the airport may be ideal for business travelers and others planning to fly back out immediately.

The highway follows a rectangular path through urban areas, with most of the popular and affordable tourist services lined up in urban areas close to the highway. The biggest lot of motels is bunched up at or very close to Sheridan Ave and 17th St. If required, visitors will find more choices moving ahead on Sheridan and then again at the turn into 8th St.

The next section of the highway which leads out of the city is Yellowstone Ave. There are a few motels here too, around the Ponderosa Campground and at Riverside Cemetery. These are ideal as a base for outdoor exploration or for visitors returning from the park. More choices lie ahead, where W. Yellowstone Avenue passes through Shoshone National Forest and the river is literally a stone's throw away.

Motels further ahead at the Buffalo Bill Reservoir's shoreline offer an even more scenic place to stay along the highway. The last leg of the drive between the reservoir and park has a few motels, and there are some more right up-close to Yellowstone's east entrance. Travelers faced with so many choices from the airport to the park should select the right one that is best suited for their itinerary.

Business travelers will find it more convenient to stay at Beck Lake and other parts of the city near the airport. Tourist groups and families on vacation should look for a place that is ideal for an attractions tour. For example, affordable motels close to the Buffalo Bill Historical Center and Cody Night Rodeo are quite popular.

Roadtrippers and those who are interested in an outdoor holiday in Yellowstone can find a scintillating spot to stay between the city and the national park. President Teddy Roosevelt, who was an avid road-tripper, was of the opinion that the drive between Cody and Yellowstone is the most scenic 50 miles in the world. At the very least, this means that every good motel Cody Wyoming offers in this section will have a great view and is sure to provide a memorable and relaxing stay for guests.
