Cody
Cody is entertainer William 'Buffalo Bill' Cody's hometown, and
was founded by him in 1887. During summer it rivals Jackson as
Wyoming's number one tourist town, at the same time retaining more
of the bona fide appeal of a pastoral Western community than the
resort sophistication of its contender.
Every summer the town turns up its Western charm for the
thousands of visitors en route to the east gate of Yellowstone
National Park with rodeos, the annual Cody Stampede, Buffalo Bill
attractions and paraphernalia, and a cowtown circus. Cody's main
attraction is the world-class Buffalo Bill Historical Center,
encompassing five different museums detailing the history of the
West.
The dusty main road is lined with souvenir and ranch-wear shops,
and its reassembled Old Trail Town is a collection of ghost town
shop fronts and cabins gathered from the surrounding region,
housing artefacts and archaeological finds. From Cody, the 52 miles
(84km) to Yellowstone National Park takes travellers through the
superbly scenic landscape of the Wapiti Valley.
Information & Facts
Climate
Because of its altitude, Cody, like much of the state of
Wyoming, has an essentially cold and dry climate, with plenty of
winter snowfall. The weather is highly seasonal: summer days can be
pleasantly warm. Despite the average of low temperatures there is
no shortage of sunshine, with an estimated 300 sunny days a year.
Cody's weather, though, is known to be highly unpredictable.
Language
English is the most common language but Spanish is often
spoken in south-western states.
