THE MAN.
THE MYTH.
THE MOUSTACHE.
Buffalo Bill was the real deal.
An American soldier, scout, bison
hunter and great showman. He
entertained kings and queens,
sultans and czars at home and
abroad. He literally put the “wild”
in Wild West. He truly was the
most interesting man in the world.
More than 100 years ago, he
carved a frontier settlement into
the rugged Wyoming landscape.
He gave people from all over a
place to enjoy a bona fide Western
adventure. A century later, Cody,
Wyoming is a town full of charm
and buckaroo spirit that welcomes
thousands of visitors every
year. A place Buffalo Bill and his
moustache would still call home.

WYOMING’S
WILDEST
WAY INTO
YELLOWSTONE.
Cody is just a short drive from
America’s first, and most famous,
national park. We like to say it’s
the wildest way into Yellowstone.
More than a park, it’s a vestige of
the early American West, a place
full of natural beauty and lots of
furry creatures. Wheel around
and see some of the famous
attractions, including Old Faithful
Geyser, Mammoth Hot Springs, as
well as the Grand Canyon of the
Yellowstone and its breathtaking
Lower Falls. Explore a few of the
Park’s hidden gems, like the Lamar
Valley, where you’ll find the largest
concentration of roaming wildlife in
the lower 48 states. After a full day
of fun and adventure, kick back and
relax at one of Yellowstone’s unique
lodges or campgrounds. Whatever
your plans, just remember it
all starts at Cody’s East Gate,
Wyoming’s wildest, quickest way
into Yellowstone.

OUTDOOR
ADVENTURE,
INDOOR
PLUMBING.
The Wild West is a place filled
with adventure. It’s a place where
you can ride horses, rope cattle,
sit around a campfire and stay
at a genuine guest ranch. What
most people don’t realize is that
the Wild West is also a place filled
with warmth and charm. In fact,
the accommodations in Buffalo
Bill’s Yellowstone Country are
surprisingly posh. We’re talking hot
showers, soft pillows, duvet covers,
the whole nine yards. You can even
eat at a fancy restaurant or go
shopping for a souvenir horseshoe.
Take a stroll down the boardwalk
in Old Trail Town and visit Butch
Cassidy’s Hole-in-the-Wall cabin.
Enjoy live cowboy music, authentic
food and friendly service. See, the
Wild West isn’t so rough and tough
after all.

WELCOME TO
BUFFALO BILL’S
PERSONAL
PLAYGROUND.
Buffalo Bill spent some of his
most cherished moments in the
mountains, rivers and lakes near
Cody, Wyoming. This was his
personal playground. He loved the
peace and quiet he found in these
wild places as well as all the fun
and adventure. Cody continues to
be a hub for all sorts of outdoor
activities, everything from a hike
through the breathtaking Absaroka
Mountains to a mountain bike
ride across “Twisted Sister.” Cast
a fly in the Shoshone River, the
Greybull or the Clarks Fork of the
Yellowstone River. Take on the
cliffs of the North Absaroka Range
for a little rock or ice climbing.
Float the Shoshone River Canyon or
kayak the tail water of the Buffalo
Bill Reservoir. There’s no shortage
of outdoor fun and adventure in
Buffalo Bill’s personal playground.

BUFFALO BILL’S MUST DO LIST
Buffalo Bill really did create a town full of hospitality, memories and, of course,
adventure! Here’s where he’d want you to start:
1. BUffalo BILL CENTER OF THE WEST
Often referred
to as the “Smithsonian of the West,” the Center is the place to go and learn
all about Buffalo Bill, the Plains Indians and Yellowstone. Check out the
unparalleled exhibition of classic Western Art and the largest collection of
firearms in the world.
2. CODY TROLLEY TOUR Take a ride on our classic trolley for the
“Best of Cody, Wild West Tour!” It only takes one hour and you’ll get the best
overview of what Buffalo Bill’s town has to offer.
3. OLD TRAIL TOWN
It’s not hard to imagine how the West really
must have been after visiting the authentic buildings in Old Trail Town. You’ll
see the cabin of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid and the gravesite of
Jeremiah “Liver-eating” Johnston.
4. Buffalo Bill DAM & VISITOR CENTER
Inspired by
Buffalo Bill, it was the tallest concrete dam in the world when it was finished
in 1910. The Visitor Center and audio tour provide you with information about
dam construction and area wildlife.
5. CODY NITE RODEO
When you come to the “Rodeo Capital of the
World” there’s no doubt you’ll find one of the roughest rodeos in the West.
Hold on tight and check out the roping and bull and bronc riding. Little wonder
this rodeo is the longest running nightly rodeo in the country.
6. DAN MILLER’s COWBOY MUSIC REVUE
The Old West
comes to life with the sounds of the fiddle, the mandolin and the guitar playing
classic cowboy favorites done only the way Dan Miller and his Empty Saddles
Band can. Get ready to laugh, sing and tap your feet. The whole family will
enjoy it!
7. HEART MOUNTAIN WWII INTERPRETIVE center
The Heart Mountain WWII Interpretive Center offers visitors a powerful history
lesson. Take a self-guided tour of the Heart Mountain Relocation Camp, where
14,000 Japanese Americans were interned during World War II.
8. HOMESTEADER MUSEUM
Step into the shoes of the early Big
Horn Basin pioneers at the Homesteader Museum in Powell. See artifacts from
1904-1950 homesteaders and explore pioneer cabins and a train caboose.
9. MEETEETSE CHOCOLATIER AND MUSEUMS
You haven’t tasted chocolate until it’s been made by a Wrangler-wearing,
belt buckle-boasting, hat-tipping cowboy. Try his mouth-watering truffles,
treats, cakes and desserts. Stroll Meeteetse’s boardwalks; see some of the
first photographs of cowboy life at the Belden Museum; visit the old-time
Bank Museum or learn Meeteetse’s history at the Meeteetse Museum.

Never feed or approach wild animals–to do
so can be dangerous for you and the animal.
Stay in your vehicle to view wildlife along
the roadside–especially bears!
Young animals are rarely very far from their mothers–leave them alone.
Many animals do not show signs of stress
and may become aggressive if approached too closely–keep your distance.
Do not surround, crowd, or follow any animal–
it could result in injury to you or the animal.
Deer, elk, bears, and bighorn sheep are often observed near or on roadways–obey posted
speed limits and keep a sharp eye during early morning and late evening periods.

GEMS OF YELLOWSTONE
1. OLD FAITHFUL GEYSER The most popular attraction in the Park. It’s not the highest
or the most regular, but it never disappoints. See other geysers nearby and be sure to see Morning
Glory Pool, one of the Park’s most colorful thermal features.
2. MAMMOTH HOT SPRINGS Park headquarters and features some of its oldest
buildings. Browse the Visitor’s Center and wildlife museum. In addition, Mammoth Hot Springs
Terrace is quite magnificent, and the Terrace drive is a must.
3. LAMAR VALLEY A must-visit area for serious wildlife watchers. It’s home to bison, elk,
coyote, grizzly and wolf. In fact, Lamar Valley is the #1 destination for viewing wolves. Check with
Park Rangers for best viewing times.
4. GRand canyon OF THE YELLOWSTONE Yellowstone’s Grand Canyon is
breathtaking. The Lower Falls drop 308 feet and is one of the most photographed features in the
Park. There are numerous vantage points including a 3/8-mile hike (one way) to the exhilarating lip
of the falls.

AFTER ALL
THESE YEARS,
BUFFALO BILL IS
STILL PUTTING
ON A SHOW.
William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody was
one of the most colorful characters
in American history. Heck, he was
a rock star before there were rock
stars. He toured the United States
and Europe with his Wild West
show, featuring bronc riding, cattle
roping and sharpshooting. You
can learn all about his legendary
life and the West he loved at the
Buffalo Bill Center of the West, not
only affiliated with the Smithsonian,
but acclaimed by critics as the
“Smithsonian of the West.” You’ll
find five amazing museums under
one roof with history and culture,
art and artifacts—all celebrating
the Spirit of the American West, the
place that Buffalo Bill called home.
See history come to life on summer
nights as the Cody Gunfighters
reenact a shootout in front of the
landmark Irma Hotel. After that,
saddle up for some traditional
Western entertainment at the Cody
Nite Rodeo or Dan Miller’s Cowboy
Music Revue.

NO WONDER
COWBOYS LOVED
RIDING INTO
TOWN.
After long days of roping cattle and
mending fences, Wild West
cowboys loved riding into town
for a little R&R. After all these
years, the downtown districts of
Cody, Powell and Meeteetse are
still great places to kick back and
relax. You can stroll through a fine
art gallery, sample some cowboy
chocolate or shop for a shiny new
belt buckle. You’ll also find a wide
variety of great restaurants. Buffalo
Bill would probably recommend a
juicy porterhouse, but he would
also want you to try other Western
classics like Rocky Mountain
oysters, wild game and buffalo
burgers. Our culinary menu extends
to Mexican, Italian, Japanese and
Chinese, so there’s something to
please even the pickiest eater. The
downtown districts are chock-full
of fun shops, good food and
Western charm. No wonder those
cowboys loved riding into town.

TRACKS THROUGH
BUFFALO BILL’S
YELLOWSTONE
COUNTRY.
There’s a reason they call it the
most wonderful time of the year.
During the winter, you can gear
up for a snowmobile trip, go ice
skating at Homesteader Park or
strap on your crampons to scale
a frozen waterfall in the beautiful
South Fork Valley. You can also
enjoy a day schussing down the
slopes at Sleeping Giant Ski Area
or cross-country skiing at the
Wood River Valley Touring Park or
Pahaska Tepee. The fall is a great
time to visit as well. The animals
are out roaming around and
the weather’s still nice enough
to fish, golf or take a tour. Yep,
there’s always something to do
and something to see in Cody/
Yellowstone Country, the proud
home of Buffalo Bill and
his famous moustache.
