Cody Road, approx. 1920
At first tourists were transported up the Cody Road by spring wagon as indicated in the next photo.
In 1911, the spring wagons were replaced by motor cars. At the eastern entrance of Yellowstone Park passengers
transfered to stage coaches. Motor cars were not permitted within the park until 1916.

The "Corkscrew," Sylvan Pass, Cody Road, 1920's.
The road was relocated to the side of the canyon and thus for
years the structure was not visible from the road. In the 2000's, the road was again reconstructed and
a pull-off was provided making the corkscrew once again visible.
