Have The Adventure Of A Lifetime At This Wyoming Mountain Resort
One of the best things about Wyoming is the hidden gems and out-of-the-way places you’ll find scattered around the state. One such place is the enchanting mountain retreat tucked away just outside of Yellowstone National Park.
Other Wyoming resorts are along more well-traveled routes in and around Yellowstone, but the location of Elephant Head Lodge offers the best of both worlds. It’s close enough to allow for frequent forays into the park, but far enough away to keep you out of the crowds. Plus – bonus! – there are plenty of things to do right there at the lodge, giving you more options than the typical sight-seeing tours through the park.
Elephant Head Lodge, 1170 North Fork Highway, Cody, Wyoming
The main lodge, along with the restaurant and one of the guest cabins, was originally built by Josephine and Harry Thurston. Josephine was Buffalo Bill Cody's niece, and Harry was a Shoshone National Forest Ranger.
However, many of the cabins are equipped with kitchenettes and dining spaces of their own, for guests who want to enjoy a cabin living experience to the fullest.
Guests can choose between sleeping cabins and ones with kitchens, and many of the accommodations are pet-friendly, too.
Naturally, with Yellowstone about 11 miles away, you'll probably want to spend a day or two exploring the park. On the other hand, there are plenty of things to do closer to the lodge, such as hiking the nearby mountain trails...
