Witness Wild Horses Running Free

Begin your exploration of America’s Wild West with Cody Wyoming Adventures. On the company’s Red Canyon Wild Mustang Tour, you and your pup can venture deep into the McCullough Peaks area to see wild mustangs run free. Keep your eyes open for free-ranging prairie dogs, antelope, and the occasional coyote. Dogs are welcome to join for free but must be approved in advance. After returning to Cody, continue your sightseeing with Cody Trolley Tours, where Fido can accompany you on a 60-minute, 22-mile loop around Buffalo Bill’s namesake town.

Following a full day of activities in cowboy country, The Cody is a great place to unwind. The hotel’s friendly staff will welcome both you and Fido with cookies upon arrival. Enjoy them by the fireplace, or retreat to the jetted tub in your guest room. Want s’more? You’ll find marshmallows, chocolate bars, and graham crackers outside by the fire pit, too!

Pose for Pics in Jackson

In Jackson, WY, stop at the main square and visit Jackson Hole's Old Time Photos for a unique way to commemorate your trip with Fido. Just call ahead to let them know you'll be bringing a dog for the photo shoot and the photographer will make sure to have toys and doggie biscuits for your pup. Dogs must be housetrained and non-chewers. You and your pooch will spend about an hour getting dressed up and posing with props, and you’ll have a fun memento to remember your trip to Jackson Hole.

After your photo shoot in Jackson, saddle up and ride over to Cowboy Village Resort to rest up. This authentic log cabin property is located in downtown Jackson and close to many pet-friendly shops and restaurants.

Stop to Smell the Roses

Cheyenne, WY

Slow down and enjoy the "mild" West at Cheyenne Botanic Gardens. Leashed dogs are welcome to stroll by your side along 9 acres of award-winning perennial and annual landscapes, including a rose garden designed to survive Wyoming’s harsh winters. After a leisurely walk through sweet-smelling surroundings, Fido will want to let off some steam at Nancy Mockler Dog Park. Afterwards, treat your pooch to a Puppuccino in the shady gardens at the Paramount Cafe.

Four-legged guests who require an affordable stay but still want amenities like a grassy pet relief area and an updated room should look no further than Comfort Inn & Suites Cheyenne.
