CHOICE FAMILY ACTIVITIES IN CODY:
CODY NITE RODEO
Cody is proud to host a full rodeo every night, all summer long. The community lives up to the phrase: "Cody is Rodeo". Any visitor to Cody must experience the original cowboy sport of rodeo. With performances every night from June 1 to August 31, there are many opportunities to see live rodeo action!
The Cody Nite Rodeo is the longest running rodeo in the United States, having operated for over 60 years. Bull riding is the big event, ending each rodeo with a guaranteed thriller. Calf roping, team roping, bulldogging, and cowgirls' barrel racing are some of the other favorite events.
Kids from the audience can "cowboy up" too, joining in stick horse races and calf scrambles. Kids of all ages will enjoy watching the rodeo clowns at work, both entertaining the crowd and artfully helping to keep the rodeo participants out of harm's way.
TRAIL TOWN
Trail town features a collection of more than 20 historic buildings and many western relics. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid's Hole-in-the-Wall cabin has been moved to Trail Town.
SKIING
Cody offers prime skiing adventures. With three ski areas in the region and a multitude of cross country ski options, Cody is a winter skiing wonderland.
Cross country skiing, either on developed trails or through the forests and wilderness, is limited only by the skier's imagination and muscles. Many groomed trails are ready for use after the first heavy snowfall. The trails start from Sleeping Giant Ski Area and Pahaska Teepee Resort near the East Entrance to Yellowstone National Park. This area offers over 25 kilometers of groomed tracks and over 24 miles of challenging forest service trails through the native wilderness.
SNOWMOBILING
The Beartooth Mountains feature 30 miles of groomed and 34 miles of ungroomed trails. Access to the area is via the Chief Joseph Scenic Byway.
ICE CLIMBING
The upper South Fork of the Shoshone River is home to the largest concentration of frozen waterfalls in the lower 48 states. With over 300 pitches of ice currently having been climbed and cataloged, and numerous first ascents waiting to be done, this area is a must travel destination for the serious winter alpinist.
