Deer, antelope and, yes, buffalo still roam in the "Cowboy State." From the storied past of the pioneers and the Oregon Trail, to the rodeo festivities of Cheyenne Frontier Days, America's Wild West history is unmistakably imprinted on Wyoming and lives on through its untamed landscape, folklore and people.

Here you can visit an Indian Reservation, national parks and forests, catch your lunch at the best fishing destination in America and even go digging for dinosaur bones. Step back in time and follow the trail of the pioneers, visiting old forts, battle sites and western towns along the way. Or become transported to the Wild West of the 1800s through the original masterworks of Wyoming's museums.
