Day 5
Having seen the highlights on Yellowstone in the Circle of Fire Tour on Day Four, Cody Wyoming was calling our names. We exited through the West gate and into one of the most beautiful mountain ranges I have seen. The countryside was breathtaking and so wide-open. We found ourselves pulling over frequently to take photographs.
Once in Cody, Buffalo Bill was on our mind. We found the Buffalo Bill Museum and quickly plopped down our AAA card for a sweet discount. We quickly toured this wonderful museum and actually just skimmed the surface of the historical articles and artifacts contained inside.

Hunger was screaming so we asked about the historical establishment frequented by Buffalo Bill himself, The Erma. The buffalo burger was mouthwatering and I just can't say enough. After our tummies were full, we asked for a tour of the hotel. We saw the actual room that Buffalo Bill stayed in when in town.
Leaving Yellowstone, we were compelled to stop at an old town village. Very cool, highly recommended.

The day was exciting and we saw some of the countryside outside of the actual Yellowstone Park. West gate area of Yellowstone is varying so much in it's scenery, it is well worth the detour.
