Cody might be best known as a thrilling summer destination for lovers of the great outdoors, with the world’s longest-running nightly rodeo and access to the unrivaled beauty of America’s first national park, but Cody Yellowstone has a well-kept secret for the discerning traveler: it’s also a wonderland of winter adventure. Start right at the top by visiting Sleeping Giant, one of North America’s oldest alpine ski areas, for skiing, snowboarding, snowshoeing and more. Tour a snowbound Yellowstone National Park on a guided snowmobile tour and watch in awe towering waterfalls crash into icy waters. Blankets of snow in the park are ideal for spotting abundant wildlife including bison, elk, and moose.
Those looking for the perfect après ski (or snowmobile, or ice climb) destination should call in at Buffalo Bill’s Irma Hotel or stop into the luxurious Chamberlin Inn, where legendary author Ernest Hemingway’s signature is immortalized in the guestbook. For when the weather just won’t cooperate with outdoor fun, the Buffalo Bill Center of the West is the perfect snowy day adventure with five museums under one roof.
For the mavericks, wanderers, and explorers. The nature lovers, thrill-seekers, and the relentlessly curious. Explore Cody Yellowstone this winter.
