Shoshone River Description

The Shoshone River is 100 miles (160 km) long river in northern Wyoming in the United States. Its headwaters are in the Absaroka Range in Shoshone National Forest. It ends when it runs into the Big Horn River near Lovell, Wyoming. Cities it runs near or through are Cody, Powell, Byron, and Lovell. Near Cody, it runs through a volcanically active region of fumeroles known as Colter's Hell. This contributed to the river being named on old maps of Wyoming as the Stinking Water River. The current name was established in 1901 due to popular demand.[1]
