15 Best Resorts in Wyoming - The Crazy Tourist

Wyoming was the first American state to grant women the right to vote, which is awesome! It is also the home of Yellowstone Park and Devils Tower, which are both spectacular attractions. So, there’s is a lot to like about Wyoming.

Wyoming is a frontier state in America, and the wide open spaces plus iconic landscape fill the memories of millions. Yellowstone National Park, Grand Teton National Park, and the Rocky Mountains are the perfect backdrop for the thousands of stories that have created the character of the United States. This, and the larger-than-life characters that filled those stories, continue to be celebrated across Wyoming. Such as the Buffalo Bill Center of the West, and Old Trail Town (which is a recreation of Buffalo Bill’s Cody Town) are monuments to the adventure and excitement those stories contain.

But it is the landscape of Wyoming that will stay with visitors long after the campfire tales have faded from memory. The people of the Equality State live between the Rocky Mountains and Flaming Gorge, and every square inch between is worth seeing. There is a haunting relevance to the open prairies of Wyoming that speaks clearly of the agelessness of the countryside. It was rugged and infinite when it was first settled, and will remain that way long after we are gone. So why not take a moment to get to know this great history on a more personal level?

Let’s check out the best resorts in Wyoming:
