Frontier spirit lives on in this authentic cowboy town, where the Buffalo Bill Center's five museums reveal the untamed West through artifacts and art. Summer nights mean cheering at the Cody Nite Rodeo, where real cowboys demonstrate skills honed on working ranches. The Cody Dug Up Gun Museum displays weapons with stories as colorful as the town's namesake. Take a day trip to Yellowstone National Park for geysers and grizzlies, or explore the less-crowded wilderness of Shoshone National Forest. The Cody Firearms Museum chronicles America's relationship with guns without glorification. After adventures, the Cody Cattle Company serves up hearty meals with a side of Western entertainment that feels refreshingly genuine rather than staged for tourists.
