Big Wyoming

Wyoming symbol If you’re willing to invest a little travel time, there’s also plenty for visitors to see and do outside of Laramie and southeast Wyoming.

Our state features both the world’s first national park—Yellowstone—and the country’s first national monument—Devils Tower. Additional federally managed offerings include the Bureau of Land Management’s National Historic Trails Interpretive Center in Casper; the Fort Laramie National Historic Site east of Wheatland; Fossil Butte National Monument near Kemmerer; four national forests; one national grassland; and close to 80 other attractions, recreation areas, sites, and trails.

Among Wyoming’s other treasures, you’ll find the Buffalo Bill Historical Center in Cody, made up of five Old West museums; the world-class ski runs of the Jackson Hole Mountain Resort; the Wyoming Dinosaur Center in Thermopolis; Casper’s Tate Geological Museum; and the world’s largest “jackalope,” which can be found in downtown Douglas.

For anglers, there are more than 27,000 miles of fishable streams in the state, while wildlife opportunities also abound for everyone from birdwatchers to big-game hunters.

Throw in more than 30 different state parks, historic sites, monuments, and markers, and there’s plenty to keep you coming back for more.
