I don't know Bigsky, how can you beat gettin a good nights sleep in a ***** house in Silver Gate. Gonna have to get some pics in here. lol

 

Cooke City is a nice small town to stay in on the Eastern side of Yellowstone. From Sturgis we hit Devils tower then jumped on 90 through Sheridan and spent one night at the top of the Bighorns at Bear Lodge http://www.bearlodgeresort.com/ (Burgess Junction) then headed south through Shell and Greybull to Cody. Much better scenery in my opinion than the Northern route through Lovell but that was nothing to shake a stick at either. Check out the falls at Shell Falls on your way by. On our way back from Cooke City we did Beartooth Pass and had Lunch in Red Lodge, then rode to Lovell and back to the Bighorns for night #3, back to Deadwood the next day. Made it a 4 day trip rather than 3, got to see more sights that way.

About 30 bucks a night for a room, or the four corner rooms have a bunch of bunks that a group can get for 10 bucks a head iirc.

After reading the link, it was built in 1937 so maybe just looks like an old brothel

 

We headed to Billings after Devil's Tower. Going this way allows Beartooth and Chief Joseph
easily the next day. This will drop you into Cody. We continued on that day thru Yellowstone and stayed outside Jackson. We only stayed in Yellowstone long enough to see Old Faithful which I had seen and buddy hadn't. Might be better for you to stay in or around Cody if you want to spend alot of time in Yellowstone.
