Wyoming is a beautiful mixture of outdoor recreation, the old west and city life. Rich in history and diverse in terrain, Wyoming is a plethora of moments waiting to be had.

With a Best Western Hotels & Resorts to call home base, here are several must-sees in Wyoming to add to your itinerary:

Go into town

Lander

“Where the rails end and the trails begin.” Known as one of the best outdoor towns in the U.S., Lander conveniently near Sinks Canyon State Park and Wind River Mountains. It’s the perfect town to visit for some Old West fun and outdoor adventures. Take a walk along the historic Main Street for unique shops, restaurants, and art galleries. Or rock climb in the Wind River Mountains, where the highest peak is over 13,000 feet high!

Laramie

Tucked between two mountain ranges, Laramie is a colorful college town that offers more than textbook reads. Guests can enjoy an array of outdoor recreation, western roots, and a vibrant cultural scene. Take a self-guided tour through downtown, where you’ll encounter antique shopping, restaurants, murals, and more. If you prefer something to get your adrenaline and pulse running, visit the nearby Medicine Bow National Forest – which extends from Wyoming to Colorado – for outdoor recreational fun.

Get outside

Grand Teton National Park

The site alone of the Grand Teton mountain range is enough to entice a visit. Beautiful mountain peaks and rugged terrain are just some of the wonders to explore; from valleys, rivers, lakes, and diverse wildlife, the Grand Teton National Park is a must-visit.

Yellowstone National Park

Yellowstone has become one of the most visited national parks in the U.S., and rightfully so. Not only does Yellowstone hold the honor of being the first national park, but it’s home to unique hydrothermal and geologic wonders.

Things to do

  • Walk the steps of infamous outlaws like Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid when you visit the Hole-in-the-Wall, located in Big Horn Mountains. This outlaw hideout was a notorious spot for outlaws looking to make a quick escape. But it wasn’t easy. Though accessible, the overlook does require some steep climbing.
  • After your days of climbing, hiking, and shopping, we know some relaxation is needed. Visit the Hot Springs State Park located in Thermopolis. Ease the aches of life’s adventures with a soak in the park’s Free Bath House, where you’ll find 104-degree waters.
