Buffalo Bill Cody recognized the diverse opportunities of the region when he envisioned the city of Cody. He promoted ranching, farming, tourism, fishing, hunting, and relaxing in the beautiful Rocky Mountains. Modern activities such as skiing, mountain biking, RVing, and snowmobiling are also popular, but residents still enjoy a uniquely Western lifestyle. Life on the frontier may be more comfortable today, but Wyoming and southern Montana areas still offer wide-open spaces for those seeking solitude.
