I still remember the first time I set foot in Wyoming. You just can’t beat that feeling of wide-open skies and wild, untamed landscapes. If you're like me and crave both peace and adventure, you’re going to love exploring this state. I’ve done the hiking, the riding, and the wandering, and I can tell you—these things to do in Wyoming are absolutely worth your time.
Highlights:
- I’d start with Yellowstone. If you haven’t seen geysers shoot into the sky or watched bison stroll past your car, you’re missing out.
- You’ll want to hike the alpine trails in Grand Teton—trust me, those mountain views stick with you.
- I loved wandering through Cody and Jackson. If you enjoy that Old West vibe, you’ll feel right at home.
- You should try horseback riding across the open ranchlands. I felt like I was in a movie!
- If you’re up for a scenic detour, I’d say explore Devils Tower and Bighorn Canyon—both totally blew me away.
