Opening & Closing Dates of Facilities
What I have on Sights & Sites between ABQ & Yellowstone (plus many others). Santa Fe has some neat Must See & is on the way to Cody or Moran. IMHO.
I'd not want to do the drive from Cody into the Park more than once. It's a long drive & once in the park slow. It is closer to get to Moran by about 10 miles as well. Still a good drive from the Tetons into Yellowstone proper. Might not be too much difference between the drives in distance, but more mountain to cross via Cody.
Cody is a neat town. Might consider checking out the Thermopolis, WY area as well. Should be on your way to Cody via Casper. Pretty easy route from Casper to Cody by the way.
