Wyoming Travel / Tourism Information

If you're looking for a place where the heads of livestock outnumber the amount of human residents, than Wyoming is the place for you. The state of Wyoming, landlocked on all four sides by six different states, is one of the prime jewels of the northwestern United States. With its Old West history, unbelievable topography and easy-going mentality, Wyoming is a great place to both visit and call home. More than four million people visit the state every year taking advantage of all its attractions, making it a very popular tourist destination. Wyoming thrives on travel and tourism as one of its main sources of monetary enhancement. Tourism contributes more than $1.3 billion annually to the income of the state. With Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks attracting more and more people each year, they are ultimately creating a booming Jackson Hole economy. Lesser levels of growth are stirring up in other near-the-mountain towns such as Cody, Sheridan, Buffalo, Laramie, Pinedale, Dubois, Lander and Saratoga. From the wildlife and geyser-land of Yellowstone National Park to the hard-working cities of Rock Springs and Cheyenne, Wyoming's people and culture are as diverse as its landscape.

From open fields of hay to the jagged peaks of the Teton Range, the state offers countless beauty in many forms. The expansively rugged land called Wyoming resonates with the spirit of the American West. Here is the original Wild West, the real-life inspiration for numerous Western novels, movies, and songs. The vast majority of those who enter Wyoming are en route to someplace else - the Cowboy State.
