The closest national park to Cody is Yellowstone National Park. Situated only 53 miles from the park's east entrance, Cody is considered one of the gateways to Yellowstone. A trip to Yellowstone includes having the chance to see centuries-old geysers, including Old Faithful, and thermal pools. Driving through the park, you'll catch glimpses of bison, elk, and grizzly bears. If you want to see one of the park's wolf packs, spend some time at Hayden Valley. Popular hiking trails in the park include Lone Star Geyser and Fairy Falls.
Drive through Yellowstone and head south to Grand Teton National Park, the second closest national park to Cody. As you enter the park, you'll see the rugged peaks of the Tetons and have plenty of opportunities to pull off the side of the road to take in the landscape. You can spend a day or several weeks exploring the Tetons, but make sure to check out Mormon Row and Jenny Lake, and plan to hike one of the park's popular trails like Hidden Fails or Inspiration Point. Plan a picnic at Jenny Lake, an alpine lake in the middle of the mountains.
Head east of Cody and visit Wind Caves National Park, one of America's oldest national parks with a complex cave system. There are over 140 miles of explored cave passageways and 28,295 acres of wildlife sanctuary home to bison, elk, and mountain lions. If you like to hike but want to avoid a challenging trail, check out the easy Elk Mountain Trail. For those who prefer strenuous trails for a good workout, the short but challenging 2.6-mile Boland Ridge Trail (one way) is worth the effort and offers views of the Great Plains and the Black Hills.
