Introduction
Cody, Wyoming is a popular vacation destination located in northwest Wyoming. A mere one hour drive from the east entrance of Yellowstone National Park, Cody offers a variety of entertainment. Having lived in and explored the Cody, Wyoming area for the past year, I can assure you that visitors will find a wide range of activities that are sure to please varied tastes.
Rodeo Capital of the World
Cody, Wyoming is known as "The Rodeo Capital of the World". This title is well earned since the Cody Nite Rodeo is held every evening from June 1st through August 31st beginning at 8:00 PM. Rodeo activities include barrel racing, saddle bronc riding, team roping, steer wrestling, and the ever popular bull riding. The youth calf scramble and entertainment provided by rodeo clowns add to the evening's fun.
The nightly rodeo is suspended when the Stampede Rodeo is held during the annual Fourth of July festivities. The Cody Stampede Rodeo is a PRCA event that includes many of the top cowboys in the country. This year the Stampede Rodeo will include the Xtreme Bulls event in which "forty of the world's top bull riders will take their shot at a $50,000 purse and the championship title" (Cody Country Guide). The Cody Stampede Rodeo was twice voted the "Best Large Outdoor Rodeo" in the U.S. by PRCA members.
Cody Trolley Tours
The Cody Trolley Tour is a 60-minute 22 mile guided tour of Cody, Wyoming. Visitors board a red and green trolley at the porch of the historic Irma Hotel. Passengers enjoy a live performance, watching and listening to two costumed guides "spotlight historical sites, scenic vistas, geology, wildlife and old and new west attractions" (Cody Trolley Tours). The tour encourages audience participation by passing around relics, sharing historic photos, and playing audio clips. Participants are also given a copy of the "Best of Cody" book as a souvenir. The Cody Trolley Tour provides several daily tours during the months of June through September.
