CODY, WYOMING • 2015 VACATION GUIDE T h e w i l d e s t way i n t o Y e l l o w s t o n e CODY, WYOMING • FULL OF SPIRIT YELLOWS T ONE C O U N T R Y. O R G ~ 1 - 8 0 0 - 3 9 3 - 2 6 3 9 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.

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.

O R G ~ 1 - 8 0 0 - 3 9 3 - 2 6 3 9 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.

O R G ~ 1 - 8 0 0 - 3 9 3 - 2 6 3 9 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.

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.

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.

Try his mouth-watering truffles, treats, cakes and desserts.

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. 22 CODY, WYOMING • FULL OF entertainment YELLOWS T ONE C O U N T R Y. O R G ~ 1 - 8 0 0 - 3 9 3 - 2 6 3 9 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.

O R G ~ 1 - 8 0 0 - 3 9 3 - 2 6 3 9 GREAT FOOD, DRINKS & QUALITY GOODS. 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.

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.
