The East Entrance of
Yellowstone
National Park
is located 26 miles
west of Rimrock Ranch.
The Park is a treasure,
visited by travelers
from around the world.
In 1872 Congress established Yellowstone as the world's first national park. The magmatic heat powers the park's famous geysers, hot springs, fumaroles, and mud pots.
We visit the Yellowstone with our guest on Friday. It is an all day tour which includes all the highlights of the Park, Old Faithful, the Gyser Basins, Yellowstone Falls and Yellowstone Lake.
Rimrock Dude Ranch is
located in the northwest
corner of Wyoming, halfway
between Cody and Yellowstone
National Park. It sits
above the beautiful Wapiti
Valley, surrounded by
the mountains of the Absaroka
Mountain Range.

The Wapiti Valley (East Yellowstone Valley) connects Cody, WY to the East Entrance of Yellowstone National Park. This highway (US 14-16-20, The Buffalo Bill Cody Scenic Highway) was called “the most scenic 50 miles in the world” by President Teddy Roosevelt. It passes by Buffalo Bill Dam and Reservoir, Buffalo Bill State Park, numerous interesting rock formations, and through the Shoshone National Forest (our nation’s first).
It doesn't get much more western than this - Teddy Roosevelt, Buffalo Bill, grizzlies, elk, mountains. Why not flyfish a river that has been flowing through history for eons?
The North Fork of the
Shoshone River has its
birthplace in the Absarokas,
on the fringes of Yellowstone
National Park. . Fortunately
for us, much of this
river is available for
flyfishing - some easy
access and some difficult.
