Wyoming and Montana: Powell, Cody, Cooke City and Red Lodge.
Here it is, my first video! What a better way to start this channel and this series with a video that showcases one of the most beautiful places in the world: Wyoming, and Montana (USA). This video takes you through the Chief Joseph Scenic Byway. The byway connects Cody (WY) with the Beartooth Highway and the Northeast Gate of Yellowstone National Park.
The journey starts in the All-American city Powell (WY), going through Cody (WY), the Dead Indian Pass, Beartooth Mountains, taking a detour to Cooke City (MT), and finishes in Red Lodge (MT).
You can also see a couple of my favorite places in the area like the Pat O'Hara Brewing Company in Cody (#1 Irish Bar in Wyoming) and Carbon County Steakhouse in Red Lodge.
Bighorn Mountain Ranch - Wyoming
BIGHORN MOUNTAIN RANCH
The Bighorn Mountain Ranch is an excellent piece of high country heaven with excellent views, wildlife and privacy. This 6,713 +/- acre mountain ranch consists of excellent cabins and lodges, rolling grass-covered hills and meadows that are cut by deep tree-covered canyons and game filled bluffs. The vast ranch is completely surrounded by BLM and National Forest lands of Bighorn Mountain Range, which typically gives public access into sensitive areas of ranches. However, this is not the case on this offering. In fact, the deeded land protects and controls most access to all of approximately 30,000 acres. With control of so many acres, this ranch definitely lives BIG!
Started by the Flitner family in 1906 on a homestead known as Cow Camp, the Bighorn Mountain Ranch has grown over the last 100 years, adding surrounding acreage and encompassing over 20 square miles. Decades full of cattle drives, wildlife management efforts, new construction, recreational memories and hundreds of untold stories lie within the boundaries of this ranch. Now, for the first time, this legacy property is on the market.
This ranch location, just 80 miles from Sheridan and 80 miles from Cody, gives the property access to the outside world. Locally, the town of Greybull offers all services and a good 7,000 foot runway at the local airport. For the air enthusiast and possibly the pilot, the current owner has installed two heated helicopter pads for year around access at the ranch, which is just a short 10-minute flight via helicopter from Greybull. Shell, Wyoming is just below the ranch, and it offers some services and basic provisions as well. Known for the abundance of fossil shells located in the area, nearby exposed formations such as the Cloverly Formation and the Morrison Formation have yielded numerous fossils of dinosaurs and other animals.
