Wyoming Attractions

Wyoming, the 44th State, is also the 9th largest state in the nation. The very mention of the word Wyoming evokes the essence of the American West.  This Western spirit thrives to this day in the Cowboy State. Wyoming has its origins in an Algonquin word meaning "large prairie place." From its broad high plains to its soaring mountains, from its storied past on the frontier to its role in the ancient histories of native peoples, Wyoming is like no place on Earth.

The most known place of attraction in this state is Yellowstone National Park.  Located in Montana, Idaho and Wyoming, this National Park is the first and oldest in the world.  The park includes Geysers; there are also grizzly bears and wolves, as well as herds of bison and elk.  Rich in land and history, tourist can visit few museums to get a better idea of what this wonderful state is all about.

Buffalo Bill Historical Center, located in Cody, interprets the experiences of the American West; it includes a museum dedicated to Buffalo Bill himself, a Plains Indian exhibit, the Cody Firearms Museum and the Draper Museum of Natural History.  In Pinedale, you will find Museum of the Mountain Man.  The museum interprets the romantic era of the mountain man and the significance of the western fur trade; exhibits include western exploration and early settlement of western Wyoming.  Lastly, Washakie Museum, located in Worland, provides visitors an opportunity to relate to the lives of the earliest settler of the area; there are exhibits honoring the wagon train settlers of the 19th century, and displays devoted to the culture of the Sheepeater Shoshone Indians.
