If you’re looking for an exhilarating, thrilling adventure, put Cody, Wyoming on your summertime itinerary.
The Sleeping Giant Ski Hill and Zipline is a super-short distance from Yellowstone National Park, and it’s one of the newer adventure attractions in the area. If zipping your way down the mountain and across the river isn’t exciting enough, you can always take the plunge on the bungee jump.
