Transportation to and from tours will be provided by private vehicles and shuttles. If you are arriving by car, we would greatly appreciate your help in transporting crew members to tours that do not have shuttle service.
This is an unofficial Ajax reunion for members who prefer to gather exclusively with fellow Ajax crew members.
A few things to consider before coming to Wyoming:
1. Flights into Cody Yellowstone Regional Airport are frequently delayed. If you’re flying into Cody, we recommend arriving one day early to help avoid potential travel disruptions.
2. Be prepared for some wind therapy.
3. Bring clothing for all 4 seasons, especially if visiting Yellowstone.
4. Deer run freely in town and do not observe crosswalks or your car.
5. If you plan to rent a car, consider flying into Billings, Montana, and renting one there. Billings is approximately 100 miles from Cody, while rental cars in Cody start at around $100 per day.
