We drove our coach 80 miles, about 2.5 hours of very scenic driving, from Yellowstone, Wyoming to Cody, Wyoming.

Here’s the map route, heading east:

An interactive map, with potential stops; we had lunch at Newton Spring Picnic Site, and got some fuel at the Sinclair station:

We paused bringing in the slide to let the pooled rain drain off:

A GIF of checking the brake controller; the air brakes of the coach triggers this piston that pushes the brake pedal in our truck for proportional braking assistance:

Checking the truck lights:

Another check, moving the coach forward a couple of feet to engage the tow bar and make sure the truck wheels turn freely (reversing GIF):

Leaving the campground; starting the Bluefire app for coach info:

The coach GPS mistakenly said “No Recreational Vehicles Allowed” again inside the park:

One of the last glimpses of a geyser:

And a bison:

A very scenic drive on the way out of the park:

Leaving from the east entrance of Yellowstone National Park:

The scenic drive continues outside the park; rather Utah-like:

We stopped at Newton Spring Picnic Area for lunch:

Three tunnels by Buffalo Bill Reservoir:

Cody:

A fuel stop at a Sinclair station; not needed, since only down a third of a tank, but gives us peace of mind, since there are no truck stops along this route, other than stations like this:

Unexpectedly, the fuel pump stopped at $75; 16 gallons doesn’t help much. So we did two of these to get mostly full:

Buffalo Bill Center of the West museum:
