THE WOW OF WYOMING

As far as your eyes can see, you are in awe of the immense size of Wyoming. The mountains, the State and National Parks, the wildlife and the surprises that you delightfully embrace as you travel through Wyoming. You find you’re pulling over frequently to take in the breathtaking scenery. It is the wild west with a cowboy type culture. We see mountain ranges and hope we don’t have to drive over them. We are learning how to do that in a 24 foot RV. We have seen cows that fill miles of land, all sorts of wildlife, buffalo and a herd of wild horses, to my delight. I was mesmerized with this large herd and how they interacted.

We first stopped at the Devils Tower National Monument. It has a geologic feature that protrudes out of the prairie surrounding the Black Hills. It is considered sacred by the Northern Plains Indians. Interesting fact which we actually observed is the color change of the tower depending on the light that is hitting it.

We then traveled on to Cody, Wyoming, founded in 1896 by ‘Buffalo Bill’ Cody. Today we spent time in the Buffalo Bill Center of the West. Outside was raining. The complex actually has five different museums featuring art and artifacts of the American West. There is so much to see that you are given a two day ticket. We return tomorrow. Tomorrow night, a rodeo and then off to Yellowstone and then to the Grand Tetons National Park.

A trip of a lifetime. Just Wow!
