Don't assume a Yellowstone vacation is limited to park boundaries. Here are a few attractions worth highlighting in the area.
In Cody, Wyoming: The Buffalo Bill Historical Center (tel. 307/587-4771) is the best museum in the region. Another can't-miss is the Cody Nite Rodeo (tel. 800/207-0744), the only rodeo held every night throughout the summer.
In Jackson, Wyoming: Glimpse some of the finest artistic interpretations of the natural world at the fantastic National Museum of Wildlife Art (tel. 307/733-5771), which houses 1,300 pieces within its red-sandstone walls.
In West Yellowstone, Montana: For a look at Yellowstone's cultural history, pay a visit to the Yellowstone Historic Center (tel. 406/646-1100) in the historic Union Pacific depot.
