When you run the streets of this city out on the edge of the Bighorn Basin in northwestern Wyoming, you’ll experience the feel of the Old West and what it must have been like for the characters who lived in the era of “Buffalo Bill” Cody, the legendary scout, soldier and showman for whom this town of just over 9,500 is named.
While the city itself is mostly flat — which means the elevation changes little during the stretches you’ll run through here — it is surrounded by mountains like nearby Rattlesnake, Cedar and Hart Mountains, and lies just a short drive from the entrance gate to Yellowstone National Park.
