Worth it? MINOR add-on. The payoff is scenery and story: Cedar Mountain frames Cody from the southwest and carries the colorful (unproven) Buffalo Bill burial legend, best encountered as narration on a Cody Trolley history tour or as a photo backdrop on the drive toward the dam/reservoir. Treat any on-mountain exploration cautiously — access, ownership, and trails need live confirmation.
Who it’s NOT for: Travelers wanting a developed, ticketed attraction — this is a peak/viewpoint with lore, not a managed site. Anyone expecting a marked Buffalo Bill grave here — his official grave is on Lookout Mountain, Colorado; the Cedar Mountain burial story is unproven local lore. Visitors wanting an easy, signed hike — public access/trails on Cedar Mountain are limited; verify current access before attempting anything.
Skip it if: Skip as a dedicated stop for most travelers — it's a backdrop-and-lore item, not a must-do. History buffs can enjoy the burial-mystery story via the trolley tour.
Time needed: Minutes as a viewpoint/photo backdrop; longer only if verified access for a hike/cave visit exists. (research: codyenterprise.com / codytrolleytours.com)
Best time: Daylight on the drive toward the dam/reservoir for the view; the burial lore is a year-round trolley-tour story. Verify any access live.
Cost: $Booking: None for the viewpoint. ⚠ For Spirit Mountain Cave or any on-mountain access, verify current permission/permits and status (BLM/landowner) before attempting.
