You need to have your own transportation to The Trail Shop and to Pahaska Tepee. It is important to be prompt. There are other people who may also be on the trip, and showing up late will shorten the trip for them. If you are too late, you might forfeit your trip. Please call us if you anticipate arriving after 7.
You meet us at The Trail Shop at 7am at 7 County Road 6BU, located approximately a half hour west of Cody, to get your snowmobile suits and helmets. You need to leave Cody not later than 6:30 am or sooner.
Once you get your snowmobile and helmet at The Trail Shop, you then drive your vehicle another half hour to Pahaska Tepee, located just outside the East Entrance, and get on the snowmobiles and begin your tour.

Where to go on the day of your tour:
Our snowmobile gear and snowmobiles are located in two different locations so you will come to both locations on the day of your trip.
All Tours meet at your first stop at 7 am at The Trail Shop (7 County Road 6BU, Cody, WY 82414). At this stop you will get your snowmobile suits and helmets. The Trail Shop is located ½ hour west of Cody. If you are spending the night in Cody, you will need to leave town by 6:30 am to be at The Trail Shop at 7 am.
Once you have your gear, you will drive west another ½ hour to Pahaska Tepee (183 Northfork Hwy., Cody, WY 82414). Pahaska is located just a few miles from the East Entrance of Yellowstone. From here you will get on the snowmobiles and begin your tour.
Your trip ends between 4 and 5:30 pm when you return to Pahaska. It will take an hour to drive back to Cody from Pahaska.
