There’s something magical about late summer in Cody, Wyoming—especially if you’re a wildlife enthusiast. August offers some of the best opportunities for spotting iconic Western animals while enjoying the peace and quiet of the season before Labor Day crowds arrive.
Bison Herds in Motion
Just a short drive from Buffalo Bluff RV Park, herds of bison can often be seen along the Buffalo Bill Scenic Byway or at the edges of Yellowstone National Park. These majestic animals are especially active in late summer, making for memorable photos and unforgettable roadside encounters.
Birds of Prey in Flight
August skies bring raptors to the Cody region. Look for bald eagles, hawks, and ospreys soaring above the Shoshone River or perched along the cliffs. The nearby Draper Natural History Museum at the Buffalo Bill Center of the West is also a great place to learn more about the region’s bird populations.
Wild Horses and Elk Sightings
Head to the McCullough Peaks Wild Horse Herd Management Area for a chance to see Wyoming’s iconic mustangs roaming freely. Early morning or evening is the best time for spotting them. You might also catch glimpses of elk near forest edges or in the cooler shaded valleys of Yellowstone.
