LanderPoke said:Cabin creek falls is a fun, extremely short hike. Would be good for this Cheygunslinger guy (who is probably trolling us all) who has a very short time and want to do a lot. longish drive in beautiful country, get out do a quick hike, drive back.Expat_Poke said:What is a short hike for you? 1, 3, 6 miles? PM me and I can give you some other suggestions based on length and time you will be around Sheridan-Buffalo. I will say in the Bighorns I would suggest Sherd Lake out of Circle Park off US 16, or up Tongue River Canyon up by Dayton off US 14. Also, I second Stymeman, go to the Dash, if you want a steak Winchester's would be my choice.
If going from Jackson to Cody, I would recommend the east entrance road. If you want a short, but steep hike, 5 miles total with 2,000 feet elevation gain, hard to beat Avalanche Peak along the east entrance road. Be warned, while this trail sees a decent number of hikers, this is grizzly central.
In the Cody area, if you are a western art or firearm aficionado the Buffalo Bill Museum is worth a stop. Outdoor wise Heart Mountain (watch out for rattlesnakes and there is a grizzly sow that has been hanging out up there), South Fork of the Shoshone are areas worth checking out.
If you really want to see the Reservation take Wyo 134 when it spurs off US26 between Shoshone and Riverton and work your way west to Wyo 133 and then south to 287 then west towards Dubois.
Sir I promise you I am not trolling. I visited Yellowstone in 2013 and decided then I wanted to see more of Wyoming. I visited last year and drove from Laramie to Cody. I didn't get to see half the things I wanted to see so that is why I am planning another trip this year. In fact I will be leaving in a few weeks. I had planned on about 8 days but I can stay longer depending on what I decide to do and see.
