The Buffalo Bill Cody Scenic Byway (US-14/16/20) runs 52 miles west through the Shoshone River Canyon to Yellowstone's east entrance — passing the Buffalo Bill Dam, climbing 4,800 ft into Yellowstone, and descending 6,300 ft on the return. One of Wyoming's most spectacular paved e-bike road rides. Class 3 and all classes on public road. Confirmed by local media as a real local rider aspiration.
