Cody at a Glance
One of Wyoming's gateways
to Yellowstone
National Park, Cody has plenty of reasons for people to come and visit.
Founded by the legendary Colonel William Buffalo Bill Cody, the frontier town
bears his name and boasts several sites in his honor, one of which is the Buffalo
Bill Historical Center. With five museums under one roof, most of the
artifacts of the town's wild past are found here. Cody offers plenty of action
to compliment its western roots, such as the Cody
Stampede Rodeo, featuring cowboys, cowgirls, parades, rodeo entertainers
and clowns. There are numerous guest ranches, camping areas, trail rides and
other activities to satisfy outdoor enthusiasts. Because it is an hour from
Yellowstone, Cody is a great place to stay before heading out sightseeing, rock
climbing and kayaking. In the winter, Sleeping
Giant Ski Hill is open for business, with 17 runs ready for all levels
of skiers. Accommodations are plentiful and range from hotels to secluded mountain
lodges.
