| Wyoming, dubbed The Cowboy State, is the best example of what folks think of when they think of the authentic West. This is a place where western wear is more a part of function and daily life as it is fashion, and Native American culture is ever-present. This is also a place where the buffalo really do roam free, and the deer and the antelope play, along with elk, raccoons, moose, big horn sheep, prairie dogs, coyotes, bald eagles, and other birds of prey. In fact, over half of the state is public land, where visitors are free to hike, mountain bike, camp, kayak, raft, or simply observe nature in its pristine state, undisturbed by the influence of man. National treasures are many here, including Bighorn Canyon, Bighorn National Forest, Fossil Butte National Monument, Grand Teton National Park, Whiskey Mountain, the Laramie National Historic Site, and of course, the world-famous Yellowstone National Park where visitors can see natural wonders found nowhere else on Earth. It truly is a site to behold and experience first-hand. Devil’s Tower, the nation’s first national monument, is also a must-see. This cluster of giant rock columns juts straight up, over 1,200 feet over the valley below and almost a mile above sea level. For those seeking out some powdery slopes, Jackson Hole Wyoming offers some of the best in the States, along with a town full of friendly folks, mountain lodges, and great cuisine. Cheyenne, made famous by the Fort of the same name, is also a town where people can see the past meet the present, right before their eyes.
