The view down main street in Cooke City looking toward Yellowstone. We stayed overnight in Cooke City and, while I wouldn't recommend the Soda Butte Lodge, I definitely recommend the cafe across the street and the coffee and pastry place just up the way. Cooke City is basically inaccessible to automobiles in the winter—snowmobiles only. It's kind of a crazy little place, but one to which I definitely hope to return soon.
