Put on Your Cowboy Hat and Head to the Cody Nite Rodeo!

Yellowstone National Park is one of the nation’s most popular National Parks.  There are gushing geysers, sparkling hot pools, burping mud pots, stunning snow-capped mountain peaks, and some impressive waterfalls to enjoy.

But, to thoroughly enjoy this area of the country, you need to get out of the Park and explore some of the surrounding towns.  Cody, Wyoming is one of those towns.  Cody is rich with history.  Buffalo Bill Cody spent time here and built the area’s finest hotel at the turn of the century, The Irma.  You can still stay here today!   Wild mustangs roam the countryside.  And one of the nation’s most beautiful drives, Beartooth Pass, is just a stone’s throw away.

There’s another reason to visit Cody, Wyoming.  It’s the “Rodeo Capital of the World.”  During the summer, the Cody Nite Rodeo takes place.  At 8PM sharp, you’ll see some of the best cowboys (and cowgirls) ridding, roping, and broncing.    There’s barrel racing, bull riding, bareback riding, team roping, steer wrestling, saddle bronc riding, and a rodeo clown.    It doesn’t matter if you’re big city folk, from the suburbs, or the country.  This is one event no visitor to the Yellowstone area can afford to miss!
