DESTINATION GUIDE
WYOMING
Famous for its Old West legacy and spectacular natural landscapes, Wyoming’s biggest draws are the geyser-scattered Yellowstone National Park and dramatic Rocky Mountains. The Cowboy State’s jaw-droppingly beautiful wilderness is an outdoor adventurer’s dream, while foodies, history buffs and art enthusiasts will enjoy soaking up the culture of state capital Cheyenne.

Explore the canyons, mountains and forests of America’s favourite natural playground, Yellowstone National Park. Covering a staggering two million acres, this rugged wilderness is home to over 60% of the world’s geysers – visit the famous Old Faithful and watch as the natural hot spring explodes with boiling water and steam. The park is rich in wildlife such as moose, elk, bison and over 500 grizzly bears, which are best spotted in the early morning and early evening. Other unmissable experiences include hiking across sheer cliffs to the Lower Falls, which cascade nearly twice the distance of Niagara Falls; and fishing for trout in Yellowstone Lake while surrounded by incredible mountain views.
Further south you’ll find one of the country’s most spectacular landscapes, Grand Teton National Park, which is prized for its awe-inspiring Teton Mountains, pristine lakes and sensational views. The park encompasses most of the Jackson Hole valley, a popular hiking and mountaineering area whose seasonal ski runs and luxury resorts attract an affluent jet-set. While Jackson Hole’s cowboy bars may seem to come straight from an old Western movie set, there’s more on the menu here than beef and beans – discerning travellers will find several fine-dining restaurants and sophisticated après-ski nightlife venues.
One of the most popular ways to explore Wyoming is on a road trip from neighbouring Colorado through the iconic Rocky Mountains, marvelling at incredible views of snow-capped peaks, glassy lakes and sprawling high plains. The route is dotted with welcoming resorts where you can enjoy hearty cuisine and bathe in healing mineral hot springs; while fascinating landmarks passed along the way include the Wyoming Territorial Prison, where notorious American train robber Butch Cassidy was once incarcerated.
Your Rocky Mountains road trip route ends in state capital Cheyenne, which is also the nation’s rodeo and railroad heart. Uncover Wyoming’s Western legacy at the CFD Old West Museum and hop on a narrated trolley tour through the city’s historic districts, seeing where famous gunfights occurred and visiting the spot where Old West folk hero Wild Bill Hickok married circus owner Agnes Thatcher Lake. Watch cowboys in action at the world’s largest outdoor rodeo and visit the Cheyenne Depot, a beautiful 19th-century railroad station, before retreating to one of the area’s many historic hotels, mansions and ranches. Boots and spurs aside, this exciting city is also home to an exciting arts scene and eclectic shops and restaurants.
