The parking area is badly neglected The signs, benches, bridges, fencing, all are badly neglected. But it's this or nothing in red lodge The park itself is just a brush jogged field, nothing special and I didn't see anyone cleaning up after their pets but us. I think we will go back but to use the multi use trails, not the dog park.

The visitor center has a relief map of Bighorn Canyon and the surrounding areas which is cool to look at. There's also some geological, historical and photo exhibits on the natural and cultural history of the area. There's even a sign about "What's that smell?" in the area, which I definitely had wondered about driving through the town. The smell in question was the sugar beet processing! I had seen trucks of what I now know are sugar beets and the kind of sweet, earthy aroma in the air. We hiked the Sullivan's Knob Trail which was a quick easy hike, while the Upper Layout Creek Trail was tough! You can technically drive a bit on the dirt road for the latter, but you definitely need a high clearance vehicle because there are deep ruts. We also saw some of the wild Pryor Mountain Wild Horses on the side of the rod while driving, so drive slowly!

Wyoming Veterans Memorial Park is incredible…read more Located off Hwy 14 on the corner of 26th St, this park has memorials to Wyoming military from both World War I and II, and from the Korean, Vietnam and Operation Enduring Freedom wars. There's even a recently added K9 memorial -- one of only about four in the US. It is unlike any other Veterans Park in the scope of its displays. Each war has its own memorial and some monument specific to that conflict or to that branch of the military. There are engraved stones, benches, monuments and a nice walking path taking you from one to the other. It is not a quick-visit park and having the separate memorials almost implores you to take time to read through the information and appreciate the magnitude of what each represents. The different sections are far enough apart to give time to reflect and that's not a bad thing. To say it is an impressive park, is a gross understatement. It's more than that. Well done, Cody, Wyoming.

Plenty Coups' story is equally fascinating: honored as the last of the traditional chiefs of his tribe, his story is entwined with this park, part of his original land allotment and place upon which he built his home (modeled on Mt. Vernon according to the details). As one of the first to understand the loss of the way of life of the Native American tribes, he settled in this location after seeing it in a vision. The cabin is larger than a standard log home of the era, and has an upstairs, as well. Also included on the property is separate building used as a community store, according to the descriptions. The park itself also has a teepee set up next to the home, and a museum and visitor center that does a great job describing the park and the residents of the surrounding area. It's a nice historical park with a short (less than a mile) trail around the property and along the creek, and also offers a picnic area. There's an audio tour available, but the markers along the path and around the home provide a nice self-guided tour if that's your preference.

When we pulled up it looked really small, but when we got up to it, we saw that it was much bigger. Overall it was a great experience. At Old Trail Town, you will find artifacts from the Old West as well as grave sites of several notable Western figures. You will also find original cabins used by Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid as well as a Wyoming saloon frequented by Cassidy's "Hole-in-the-Wall Gang". Some of my favorites were the log cabin home of "Curley" a Crow Indian army scout who helped guide Lt Col. George A. Custer and the U.S. 7th Cavalry to the battle of the Little Big Horn in 1876, and the old schoolhouse.
