To do right in CODY?
 
We will be all over &amp; around Wyoming national parks &amp; Beartooth Hwy. Just wondering other than Buffalo Bill museums, what else to see/do/not miss right in the town of Cody?<BR><BR>(July 2003)<BR><BR>Thanks.

Try this web site: <BR><BR>http://www.comp-unltd.com/~rodeo/cody.html<BR><BR>Cody is a small town. We enjoyed walking around down town looking in the shops.<BR><BR>Utahtea

We lived in Cody and would move back there in a second. We've been gone for three years now, so things might have changed slightly.<BR><BR>The downtown shops are fun. Cody is very &quot;artsy&quot; and has several wonderful art gallerys. Simpson Gallagher Gallery was my favorite.<BR><BR>If you like history, the Old West Town on the west side of Cody is fun to tour. He has reassembled original western buildings and recreated a town with them. They give you the sense of the old west.<BR><BR>The Nitely Rodeo is fun if you've never been to a rodeo. A great small town atmosphere and not the crowds that the pro rodeos generate. They do have a pro rodeo normally around July 4th<BR><BR>North of Cody is one of my favorites, although it leaves a lot to be imagined. The Heart Mountain Internment center was located in between Cody and Powell. I hope there's been more development of the site -- there were a couple of informative signs that help picture what the internment center looked like in World War II.<BR><BR>Our favorite restaurant was Maxwell's, although I hear there have been wonderful ones opened since we left. Ask the locals.<BR><BR>The BB Historical Center will take you hours to go through, and that alone is worth time in Cody.<BR><BR>Hope you enjoy!

<BR>I second going to the Buffalo Bill Museum; its very classy and worth the time. Also, our kids LOVED the rodeo! Cody is a quaint town; have fun!

Don't forget to go to the afternoon shootout at the Irma Hotel!

What's that? A shootout?!! :-)<BR>Sounds just the thing for us &quot;gawking tourists&quot;. When? - Is it daily? Is the Irma Hotel easy to find?
