Good rest area arounf Buffalo Wyoming

Hey everyone. Part of our upcoming trip will be to drive from Sturgis to Cody Wyoming. Is there a good rest area around Buffalo,Wyoming? It will be s long drive and i know we will need to rest,eat and fill up with diesel.Thanks!
  • Thanks everyone! Yes, it is just for a rest stop and leg stretcher!??
  • If you are just wanting a safe place to park for a few minutes, there is a Parking Area on I-90 westbound just a mile or two before the US-16 exit in Buffalo. You will see a sign that says Parking Area 750 Feet. Make sure you get in the right lane quickly as it comes up very fast. There is also an Exxon station with truck lanes just west of the exit on US-16.

    There’s a Cenex on 16, across from the Holiday Inn Express. $ 3.19/gl, cheapest in Buffalo according to GasBuddy. Review says there’s room for larger RV’s.

    GasBuddy is my friend, given the increases in fuel prices. Wife and I just got home from a 3000-mi road trip to N WI. Diesel prices from $2.95 to $3.70. We had a fuel stop planned on I-90, Murdo, SD. Until I checked GasBuddy. 20 miles further east to Vivian and I saved $17.00.

    Happy Trails and Safe Travels!

    Google is your friend.

    Go to Google Maps and get to the rough area you are looking for and type “rest area” in the search box instead of an address.
  • Since Sturgis to Cody is only about a 6-hour drive, you're not looking for an overnite stop, but just more of a break, correct?
