Wyoming Travel Guide

A mix of the rugged Wild West, the even more rugged Rocky Mountains, and a few almost modern cities -- or what we might call overgrown cow towns -- make the states of Montana and Wyoming a delightful vacation spot. This is especially true for people who savor outdoor adventures, but it's also the case for those looking to discover a part of the United States that many of us have seen only in the movies and on television (and that's a rather distorted view). Here you'll find some of the most breathtaking scenery in America; a vast array of wildlife that not only thinks it owns the place, but actually does; and even some first-class Western-style lodges, restaurants, and museums.

Following are what we consider some of the best experiences in Montana and Wyoming, highlights to help you begin planning your trip.
