About this postcard

The Cody Road passes through the triple tunnels of Shoshone Canyon, with a stone-arched tunnel mouth in the foreground and the Shoshone River running below near-vertical granite walls. The canyon marks the start of the Yellowstone trip, where eight miles of road along Rattlesnake Mountain were blasted from solid rock and tunnels cut through the granite. The route was the approach from Cody to the east entrance of Yellowstone National Park.

TRIPLE TUNNELS IN SHOSHONE CANYON ON CODY ROAD EASTERN ENTRANCE TO YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK TRIPLE TUNNELS The wonders of the Yellowstone trip begin on entering Shoshone Canyon, the mighty gorge through which the Shoshone River takes its course. The walls of the canyon are nearly perpendicular and yet along the side of Rattlesnake Mountain a road for a length of 8 miles has been blasted from solid rock. In many places the road passes through tun- nels in the granite walls.
