Pahaska Tepee
A hunting lodge built by Buffalo Bill in 1904, about 3 km outside Yellowstone's East Entrance. The log house keeps its original furnishings and can be toured, and the resort offers accommodation.
'Pahaska' was the Sioux nickname for Buffalo Bill, meaning 'long hair.' This two-storey log hunting lodge was built in 1904 and once hosted distinguished guests, including the Prince of Monaco. It is listed on the US National Register of Historic Places. In summer, free or low-cost guided tours are offered, where you can see the original large fireplace, furniture and game trophies. The surrounding resort has log cabins, a restaurant, a petrol station and horseback riding, and it is the last supply point before Yellowstone. It is about 80 km from Cody, and the season runs roughly May to October.
