State Bucket List
Wyoming has two of the most iconic national parks in America -- Yellowstone and Grand Teton -- within 60 miles of each other. Old Faithful erupts every 60-110 minutes, but the Grand Prismatic Spring is the real showstopper. String Lake in the Tetons offers calm, glacier-fed paddling with the Cathedral Group reflected in glassy water. The Cody-Yellowstone Scenic Byway follows the Shoshone River through canyon walls that rank among the most spectacular national park approaches in the country.
Devils Tower -- the 867-foot volcanic monolith that inspired Close Encounters -- is even more otherworldly at night, when the Milky Way arches overhead and the prairie dogs retreat. The Belle Fourche campground puts you right at its base for a night-sky experience that's genuinely hard to describe.
These four Wyoming adventures represent the state's range -- from the geothermal wonders of Yellowstone to the solitude of the Black Hills.
America's first national park delivers geysers, bison herds, and prismatic hot springs across 2.2 million acres. Old Faithful erupts every 60-110 minutes - but the Grand Prismatic Spring is the real showstopper.
String Lake is the perfect introduction to the Tetons - a calm, shallow lake with the Cathedral Group reflected in glassy water. Rent a canoe, paddle to Leigh Lake, and have the backcountry to yourself.
The 52-mile Buffalo Bill Scenic Byway from Cody to Yellowstone's East Entrance follows the Shoshone River through dramatic canyon walls - one of the most spectacular approaches to any national park.
The 867-foot volcanic monolith that inspired Close Encounters is even more otherworldly at night, when prairie dogs retreat and the tower glows under the Milky Way. The Belle Fourche campground puts you right at its base.
