2021 ADVENTURE GUIDE CODY YELLOWSTONE ADVENTURE VACATION GUIDE 3

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 CODYYELLOWSTONE.ORG CODY YELLOWSTONE ADVENTURE VACATION GUIDE 5
