" I f You Don't See the Co R o a d , You Don't See Yellowstone Park"

Pate One

I T runs along the very path where, ages ago, the moose,deer and elk found a way through the wildernesswhere later the Indian took the game trail for his own

over the self-same route taken by the great explorer,John Colter, in making his adventurous way back tocivilization following his discovery of Yellowstone.

It is an epic in mountain motor highway construction— through a land which, once seen, never may be for-gotten. A way through a region new and wonderful, yetolder than the Appian Way.

I F you know anything about the topography of the re-gion that lies just east of Yellowstone National Park, youknow that i t is one of the wildest, least known andscarcely explored mountain areas in America.

The far-flung Absaroka Range walls up the entireeast side of Yellowstone from its northernmost cornerto the southernmost and yet farther south for manya mile. Through this mountainous barrier, once pene-trated only by foot trails that must have puzzled amountain goat, now runs the broad Cody Road.

N O highway crosses the Cody Road in all the eightymiles from Yellowstone Lake to Cody. There is not atown, village or settlement of any sort in its entire lengthexcept for a dozen intriguing log-cabin communitieshalf-hidden among the trees — mountain resortssummer vacation places par excellence t h e fameddude ranches.It penetrates wild country t h e raw wilderness "as itwas in the beginning," supreme in its bigness, spectacularin its colossal grandeur.

I N FORTY years of cutting and grading through theendless forest t r a c k l e s s wilderness, and hackingaway at mountain sides, Man carved the road up thelong west slope of the Absaroka Range to reach 9,000feet, engineered i t over the top through grim SylvanPass and got i t down the "other side" by means of ahill seven miles long, and an amazing series of curves,loops, twists t o the edge of the historic ShoshoneRiver, alongside which the Cody Road runs through theBuffalo Bill country for the remaining fifty miles intoCody.

The big Jain holds back the ricer

JUST ahead, the shining expanse of Shoshone Lake — seven miles long, scarce a mile wide,yet forty-two miles around, so serrated and jagged is its shore line. A t the bottom of the lakelies the site of the little old frontier town of Marquette, Wyo., where Owen Wister is saidto have obtained much of the local color for his famous book, The Virginian.From this point eastward the Cody Road beggars description. Dead ahead — their summitslooming skyward — Rattlesnake and Cedar mountains appear surely to block further prog-ress. The question of how the road finds a way through the frowning mountain walls is asource of wild conjecture, as the sturdy touring cars enter the marvelous canyon through twintunnels hewn out of solid granite. The grand climax of your trip is at hand.An army of U. S. Engineers put the road through the colossal Shoshone Canyon on a six-mile shelf dynamited out of the sheer rock wall of Rattlesnake Mountain in connectionwith the building of the giant Shoshone Irrigation Dam.

forming a beautiful lake The spillway tunnel (around the end of the dam)

CONSTRUCTED by the Government at the narrowest point in the six-mile gorge, theShoshone Dam is 200 feet long at the top, but only 80 feet long at the bottom; 10 feet thickat the top and 108 feet thick at the base.Behind the dam the locked-up water rises to within a few feet of the crest, forming Sho-shone Lake—on the opposite side a sheer drop of 328 feet, to a mere ribbon. Consider fora moment the volume of pent-up water and the pressure which it exerts upon the face ofthe dam, and then marvel at the bold ingenuity of the engineers who, to devise an adequatespillway, bored a tunnel through the granite mountain around the end of the dam. Thepicture shows how admirably it functions.Finally, the Cody Road climbs out of the canyon depths, to run along the rim p a s tGertrude Vanderbilt Whitney's big bronze Buffalo Bill statue p a s t the log BuffaloBill Museum, which contains a great collection of trophies and mementos identified with theillustrious frontiersman a n d so to Cody, his home town.
