Park County

Cowboy country in northwestern Wyoming, where Cody's Western culture and the east entrance to Yellowstone National Park share one county.

Park County is in northwestern Wyoming, and a considerable part of Yellowstone National Park lies within the county. The county seat, Cody, was founded by "Buffalo Bill," and the Buffalo Bill Center of the West is a complex of museums on the history of the American West; rodeo shows are held almost every night in summer. Heading west from Cody along the Wapiti Valley brings you to Yellowstone's east entrance, with spectacular canyon scenery along the way. The best season is summer through early fall, and the east entrance closes in winter. The gateway is Yellowstone Regional Airport in Cody.
