If you want an authentic taste of the American West – the Wild West of old – go to Wyoming.
The least populated state in the U.S., Wyoming is all about vast open spaces, dramatic landscapes, big skies, and untamed natural beauty.
Its towns look like something straight out of a Western movie set. Traditional saloons, wooden storefronts, horse-hitching poles, cowboy hats, rodeos – the works.
Wyoming is home to two of the most spectacular national parks in the whole country.
Yellowstone contains half of the world’s active geysers and countless other impressive geothermal features. Meanwhile, the Grand Tetons have some of the most dramatic mountain scenery in North America.
Here, elk and moose graze peacefully in the meadows. Coyotes and wolves run free. And the last remaining population of grizzly bears in the lower 48 states roam in the forests and valleys.
Taking a road trip through Wyoming feels like a journey back in time to a world where nature remains raw, powerful, and breathtakingly beautiful.
Breathe its delicious mountain air, explore its wide open landscapes, hike its fantastic trails, and embrace the spirit of adventure that the people here thrive on.
I have family living in Wyoming, and I’ve been fortunate enough to explore it in both the summer and the winter months.
Here are some of my favorite photos from Wyoming. I hope they inspire you to visit this stunning state.
