STORIES BY Ken Burns
5. CODY, “RODEO CAPITAL OF THE WORLD” Travel to a quintessential cowboy town in Wyoming where the Old West lives on. Renowned as the “rodeo capital of the world,” historic Cody was founded by frontiersman William F. “Buffalo Bill” Cody in 1896. Learn more about his amazing life and legacy at the Buffalo Bill Historical Center – you’ll be among the first visitors to the new Buffalo Bill Museum opening May of 2012. The Buffalo Bill Historical Center is much more, however, than just the story of Buffalo Bill; it’s a “celebration of the spirit of the American West,” and is home to the world’s largest collection of artifacts depicting the culture, history and art of the American West. It’s off to the rodeo tonight after dinner. Meals BD
6. SPEND A NIGHT AT A REAL WESTERN RANCH Drive through the Bighorn Mountains, the heart of the “Wild West.” Your destination today is The Ranch at Ucross, where you can get a hands-on taste of cowboy life. The ranch offers many activities – you can take a leisurely horseback ride*; relax by the heated swimming pool; pitch horseshoes; go on walks or even hunt for frogs by the pond. There’s a huge front porch where you can watch the colors of the sunset... and a campfire in the evening, complete with s’mores, that caps a perfect day in Wyoming’s cowboy country, the real American West.

The memorial pays homage to the Lakota warrior Crazy Horse with an immense carving of him on horseback out of Thunderhead Mountain, as well as two cultural learning centers – the Indian Museum of North America and the Native American Cultural Center. Your final visit today is Mount Rushmore National Monument. Nothing compares to seeing the four famous presidential faces carved into rock – George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln and Theodore Roosevelt – in person.
