Overview
Cody, Wyoming, is a town that embodies the spirit of the American West. Founded by the legendary showman "Buffalo Bill" Cody, it is a living monument to the rugged and romantic era of cowboys, pioneers, and majestic frontier landscapes. While not on a coastal or river cruise itinerary, it is a major destination for travelers who want to experience the Old West and explore the wonders of nearby Yellowstone National Park.
A visit to Cody offers a perfect blend of history, outdoor adventure, and classic Western entertainment. From its world-class museums to its nightly rodeo, the town provides a truly authentic and unforgettable glimpse into a defining part of American culture.
The Buffalo Bill Center of the West is not just one museum, but five under one roof. This is a must-see for anyone interested in the history and culture of the American West.
Tip: Plan at least half a day, or a full day, to enjoy all five museums.
The area is known as the "Rodeo Capital of the World,". The Stampede Rodeo is a classic Western event that features bull riding, bronc riding. It's an exciting experience for the whole family.
Tip: Buy your tickets in advance online, as the rodeo is a very popular attraction, especially on weekends.
This scenic byway, a 52-mile drive along the North Fork of the Shoshone River, is the main road from here to the East Entrance of Yellowstone National Park. The drive itself is an adventure.
Tip: Take your time on this drive.
Old Trail Town is a collection of 26 authentic, historic cabins. It includes the cabin used by Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. It offers a tangible look into the lives of the early pioneers.
Tip: This is a great, family-friendly activity that provides a unique historical perspective on the West.
Every evening before the rodeo, the Gunfighters put on a gunfight reenactment on the street in front of the Irma Hotel. It's a performance that captures the essence of the Old West.
Tip: Arrive early to get a good spot and a seat on the benches.
The Irma Hotel was built by Buffalo Bill in 1902 and named after his daughter. It is a beautiful, functioning hotel. Its grand cherrywood bar, a gift from Queen Victoria, is a must-see.
Tip: Stop in for a meal or a drink to soak in the atmosphere and history.
