Giddy-up in Cody, Wyoming
Horseback riding. Quite simply the quickest way to relive the days of the Old West. The Old West is often characterized with mentions of western outlaws, cowboys, the ol’ gun drawn and such. But perhaps no other era depicts the strong bond between man and horse as the Old West did. From the silhouetted figure disappearing into the sunset to the long rides across the wide open plains, man and horse stuck together like cheese and wine.
Now it’s time to saddle up and discover the countryside the way it was meant to be. There are many outfitters in and around Cody that are equipped with experienced riders who can give you a memorable horseback riding experience. Devote a day, and head out in the country, where the grails lead you to open meadows, spectacular scenic views, meandering rivers and more.
If the whole cowboy experience is what you’re after, check out some of Cody’s guest ranches. Spend a weekend or even just a day on a guest ranch, learn the ropes of western lifestyle and get a taste of life with real cowboys!
