En Route: Wyoming to South Dakota

Cody, Wyoming was our first stop after Yellowstone, and we took the opportunity to check out the Buffalo Bill Museum. If you have the chance, drop in and check it out. So much history and information under the one roof, and so wonderfully laid out. We had a drink in Irma's Hotel, the historic hotel that Buffalo Bill bought for his daughter Irma, and we also discovered Granny's Diner, which we ended up visiting twice. 
Heading into the Bighorn Mountains
Hummingbird
After Cody we made our way through the Bighorn Mountains (part of the Rocky Mountain Range) on tortuous switchback roads. We called into a scenic outlook and Murray got this great photo of a hummingbird. They are only tiny - about the size of your little finger (this photo is greatly magnified), and their wings move so fast when they are flying that it is hard to capture them in a photo. '

We pulled off beside a stream for lunch, and the blue wildflowers were so pretty. Along many parts of the route, the blue and yellow wildflowers dotted the landscape and made it very picturesque.
