About Wyoming The state of Wyoming is located in western United States, with Cheyenne the capital and largest city. Wyoming is bordered on the north and northwest by Montana, on the east by South Dakota and Nebraska, on the south by Colorado, on the southwest by Utah, and on the west by Idaho. Star Valley and Teton Village are some of the lesser known travel destinations in Wyoming, compared with the Jackson Hole Area, Grand Teton National Park, and Yellowstone National Park.
Jackson Hole, Wyoming, is situated amid the mountains of the Teton Range and the surrounding mountains. It's a haven for wildlife, with more than 60 species of mammals, 200 species of birds, and half a dozen game fish. Some of the best trails wind their way through Grand Teton National Park. The Teton Range rises over 7000 feet, and provides for incredible vistas. The trails here range from small hikes to trails taking days to complete. Summer views are great along the trails, with wildflowers in meadows, noisy streams, rocky canyons, and large lakes. From Jackson Hole, you can head to the Yellowstone National Park. Yellowstone is the largest National Park in the lower 48 states, with 2.2 million acres. The chief attraction of the park is the Old Faithful geyser that erupts approximately every 65 minutes. Outdoor and wildlife enthusiasts would love the area, as the park is home to the largest natural populations of wildlife in the US, such as bison, elk, deer, buffalo, grizzly bears, moose, pelicans, and bald eagles. |
