For an authentic taste of the Old West, head to Wyoming where you can follow in the footsteps of Buffalo Bill and Butch Cassidy, watch cowboys competing at rodeo, saddle up at a ranch (or the local saloon bar) and admire some of America’s finest and most remote natural landscapes, made up of vast plains, wild forests and majestic mountain ranges. This is the least populated state in the USA where it’s all about the great outdoors.
It's fitting then that Wyoming boasts America’s first National Monument as well as the largest portion of the country’s first National Park. The monument is Devil’s Tower, a spectacular flat-topped volcanic formation surrounded by stunning countryside which featured in the Spielberg film, Close Encounters of the Third Kind. The other is the world-famous Yellowstone National Park with its gushing geysers, bubbling mud pools and colourful hot springs.
Adjacent to Yellowstone, Grand Teton National Park offers some of the most spectacular mountain scenery in Wyoming and between them, both parks combine to form the ultimate safari park, offering the chance to spot free-roaming bears, moose, buffalo, wolves, deer and more in their natural habitat. Also not to be missed are the Cowboy State’s old west towns with evocative names like Cody, Cheyenne, Buffalo and Laramie, straight out of a classic Western.
How to take in all this scenery and epic wilderness? Well, there’s a huge amount of choice. Wyoming boasts a number of breathtaking scenic byways and an even greater number of walking trails. You can join a horse-riding tour, watch the landscapes rush by from a river raft, or even get a bird’s eye view from a sheer cliff face whilst rock-climbing. But if you’d rather take it easy, you could also soak in a hot spring, sit fishing from a river bank, or how about a spot of golf? However you want to spend your holiday in Wyoming, you’ll find the views hard to forget.
