The road between Cody, Wyo. and Yellowstone National Park is often called “the most scenic 52 miles in America.” But for a spectacular drive that locals cherish and most visitors never discover, take a trip through the South Fork Valley.
Wyoming Highway 291, also known as the South Fork Road, meanders for more than 40 miles along the South Fork of the Shoshone River. It stretches from Yellowstone Avenue in Cody to the end of a remote and scenic valley that is rich in history and home to an extraordinary diversity of wildlife.
