CODY, WYOMING

Story and Photography by Alison DaRosa

ounded in 1896 by Col. William Fred-
erick Cody (best known as Buffalo
Bill), this town of 10,000 is home to
52 restaurants, 51 food trucks, 2,900
F hotel rooms and other places to bed
down – plus 14 museums, including six eye-
popping world-class collections affiliated
with the Smithsonian.
Cody’s 10-square-mile footprint is em-
braced by exquisite natural beauty – a
tableau of lush grass-carpeted valleys
edged by rugged “Wild West” crags and
forested peaks. The region is webbed with
scenic hiking/biking trails, crystal-clear
rushing rivers, sleepy streams and an
abundance of wildlife. Town is just 52 miles
from the East Entrance to the nation’s first
national park: jaw-dropping Yellowstone.
