WELCOME TO THE GREAT AMERICAN  ADVENTURE.

The West isn’t just a direction. It’s not just a mark on a map or a point on a compass. The West is our heritage and our soul. It’s our parents and our grandparents. It’s the explorers and trailblazers and outlaws who came before us. And the proud people who were here before them.

It’s the adventurous spirit that forged the American character. It’s wide-open spaces that dare us to dream audacious dreams. And grand mountains that make us feel smaller and bigger all at the same time.

It’s a thump in your chest the first time you stand face to face with a buffalo. And a swelling of pride that a place like this still exists. It’s everything great about America. And it still flows through our veins.

Some people say it’s vanishing. But we say it never will. It will live as long as there are people who still live by its code and safeguard its wonders.

It will live as long as there are places like Yellowstone and towns like Cody, . Because we are blood brothers, Yellowstone and Cody. One and the same.

This is where the Great American Adventure calls home. And if you listen closely, you can hear it calling you. 4 CODY YELLOWSTONE VACATION FIELD GUIDE CODY YELLOWSTONE VACATION FIELD GUIDE 5

OUTDOOR ADVENTURE HERE, THE ADVENTUROUS SPIRIT OF THE WEST IS ALIVE AND WELL.

When you’re surrounded by majestic mountains, pristine rivers and a sky so clear you can see for miles, it’s easy to be inspired. Cody Yellowstone is a natural playground. Whether you like your adventure on land, in water, by air or dangling from a granite cliff, there’s something here to captivate you.

You can explore three distinct mountain ranges—the Owl Creek Mountains, the Big Horn Mountains and the Absaroka Range— with 46 peaks higher than 12,000 feet. Each has miles and miles of hiking and biking trails.

If water adventures are more your speed, there’s the Clarks Fork, the Greybull, the Wood, the Big Horn and the North and South Forks of the Shoshone. These rivers are home to world-class fishing for browns, rainbows and cutthroats, and our local guides can take you to places that only the locals know about. These rivers are amusement parks for thrill-seeking kayakers and rafters.

Nothing captures the adventure and spirit of the West quite like wild mustangs. Just outside Cody, in the McCullough Peaks Wilderness Area, is one of the last remaining herds of wild horses. Don’t forget your binoculars and camera.
