Day 5 - CODY-YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK-WEST YELLOWSTONE
Proceed through Shoshone National Forest to beautiful Yellowstone National Park which features dramatic canyons, alpine rivers, lush forests, hot springs, and gushing geysers not to mention a wealth of wildlife. Travel along Grand Loop Road to Artist Point for views of the Lower Falls of the Yellowstone River. Be on the lookout for herds of bison that call the park home. Overnight in West Yellowstone.
