Wyoming is
home to more wildlife than people
and is a place where there are
still cowboys and Indians and
where the countryside is unspoiled,
wild and open. Home to Yellowstone
National Park, the worldŐs first
national park and just south of
Yellowstone is Grand Teton National
Park with peaks rising to nearly
14,000 ft - you donŐt get scenery
much more dramatic than this.
Nestled in the Teton Mountain
Range, Jackson Hole Mountain Resort
offers a year-round location with
high mountain adventure in winter
on skis and snowboards and in
summer, plenty of activities to
enjoy this rustic old west town.
Activities such as ranching, cattle
drives, river floats, mountain
biking and hiking are just some
of the outdoor recreational activities
that can be done throughout this
beautiful State.
Other scenic highlights are Bighorn
Canyon, Fossil Butte, Flaming
Gorge Lake and the awesome 1,267
ft high monolith, Devils Tower.
In Cody, the Buffalo Bill Historical
Center is a complex that contains
five museums and there is a nightly
rodeo in the summer months. The
capital of Wyoming, Cheyenne Frontier
Days is the last full week of
July and both weekends surrounding
that week, there are also other
Wild West attractions year round.
