Cody, Wyoming
The small cowboy town of Cody is around 85 kilometers from the eastern entrance to Yellowstone National Park. The city bears the name of the famous buffalo hunter Buffalo Bill, whose real name was William Frederick Cody. A visit to the Buffalo Bill Historical Center is worthwhile. It contains five museums that give you an insight into the history of the “Wild West”. A visit to the Old Trail Town – a picturesque collection of historic buildings from all over the western United States – is also worthwhile. If you are in Cody in summer, you have the opportunity in the evening to visit the already legendary Cody Night Rodeo. This rodeo has been held in Cody’s Stampede Park since early June to late August since 1939.

Grand Teton National Park, Wyoming
The Grand Teton National Park is located in northwest Wyoming and connects to its big brother, Yellowstone National Park, to the south. The landscape is divided into two. While several three and four thousand meter peaks rise to the sky in the west, the Jackson Hole high valley is located at around 2,000 meters in the east.
Along the park road you can enjoy wonderful views at the lookout points and with a little luck you can also watch some animals of the diverse fauna. Bison, wapiti deer, elk, black bear and eagle are just a few of the many species that live here.
The Grand Teton National Park is also a mecca for outdoor activities. Climbing, mountain biking, hiking, fishing and boat tours are among the offers. If you are a little braver, we recommend a canoe or rafting tour on the winding Snake River. An absolute highlight is a visit to Jenny Lake, where the panorama of the Teton Range is reflected when there is no wind.
