Travel Director

Cruise Prince William Sound Glacier
You won’t want to blink when we take you on a glacier and wildlife cruise around Prince William Sound. The towering ice cliffs of the Columbia Glaciers have carved giant blue icebergs into the bay, and you’ll have the chance to spot seals, otters, porpoises and sea lions as you sail around the glaciers.
Visit the Canyonlands National Park

You’ll feel like you’re dreaming as you look out over the Colorado River carving through the surreal desert landscape and flat-topped mesas of Canyonlands National Park. We’ll head to the top of the Island in the Sky for spectacular views over the landscape, plus take on the scenic hikes to Whale Rock, Grand View Point Overlook and Green River Overlook.
Stop over at the scenic city of Jackson

Tucked away in a lush valley between wild and rugged mountains, the city of Jackson is one of the most charming places to visit in Wyoming. It’s a hub for adventurers, with world-class hiking, biking and skiing at your doorstep, and you’ll love wandering the streets lined with Old West architecture and cowboy saloons with classic mahogany bars and roulette wheels.
Hike to Grand View Point Overlook

As you look out over the incredible red rock formations of Arches National Park, you can’t help but wonder if this was once a giant’s sculpture playground. We’ll take you deep into these striking landscapes, embarking on a scenic hike to reach one of the most iconic Utah attractions - the Delicate Arch - so beautifully carved out by nature’s magic touch.
Drive through the scenic Wyoming landscapes

You won’t want to blink as we take you on a scenic road-trip through this beautiful state. Gaze out at the golden prairies, marvel at the icy peaks shadowing the road between Jackson and Grand Teton, and cruise by the crystal rivers and forests between Yellowstone and Cody, described by Theodore Roosevelt as the ‘50 most beautiful miles in America’.

Our top 5 things to do in Wyoming

Looking for the best things to do in Wyoming? We’ve got you covered, from alpine landscapes of Grand Teton to the bubbling geysers and hot springs of Yellowstone.

Wyoming State Museum

Located in the state capital of Cheyenne, you’ll learn the story of Wyoming from its earliest beginnings, with dinosaur fossils, archaeological artefacts and wildlife specimens. You’ll also discover the rich culture of the region including exhibits on Native American culture, coal mining communities and even vintage clothing.
Buffalo Bill Center of the West

You’ll learn about the world of "Buffalo Bill" at this world-class museum that upholds the legacy of the iconic American soldier, hunter and showman, along with thousands of photos, artworks, artefacts and even thrilling nature experiences that take you deep into the history and culture of the Old West.
Wyoming Dinosaur Center

Travel back in time to when dinosaurs ruled the earth at the Wyoming Dinosaur Centre, and marvel at over 30 mounted dinosaur skeletons and hundreds of fossils and fascinating dioramas. Be sure to check out Stan the T-Rex and Mary the Albertaceratops, and you can even join a dig site tour to see real excavations of dinosaur bones in the ground.

Best museums in Wyoming

While many of the top Wyoming attractions are outdoors, you’ll also find plenty of fascinating museums, from a dinosaur excavation site to a tribute to Buffalo Bill.

Chicken-Fried Steak

The king of Wyoming comfort food, chicken-fried steak is made with tenderised beef cutlets dipped in egg and flour, then pan-fried until golden and crispy, and dished up with lashings of creamy gravy. The result looks like fried chicken, but with steak, and it’s a genius combination you can’t miss out on when you travel Wyoming.
Elk

If you want to get a real taste of Wyoming, you’ve got to try elk. It can be crumbed like a schnitzel, doused in garlic butter and roasted, grilled and served over fresh salad, or even made into jerky - any way is delicious. Wyoming’s locals love elk meat for its lean, tender and rich taste, and it’s actually healthier than most red meats!
Chokecherry Preserves

Looking for the best jam in the United States? It’s got to be chokecherry jelly in Wyoming. These delicious berries were traditionally used by the Native Americans of the region to make preserves and syrups, and today you’ll find them in liqueurs, sodas and scrumptious pies, and we love slathering chokecherry jam on a hot fluffy scone.

Best food in Wyoming

Your Wyoming travel guide will let you in on the best of Wyoming’s food, from wild-foraged jams to some of the best steaks in the country.

What to pack for Wyoming

Binoculars

Whether you’re roaming the forests of Yellowstone or floating down Snake River, a pair of binoculars will help you spot Wyoming’s incredible bears, bison, moose and wolves.

Star chart

Wyoming has some of the darkest skies in the world, especially Yellowstone National Park, and a star chart will help you pick out all the sparkling constellations.

Hiking boots

Between the alpine forests of the Grand Teton and the scenic trails of Yellowstone, you’ll need a sturdy pair of shoes for your Wyoming adventures.

Raincoat

Despite the blazing sunshine, Wyoming is known for its short, intense rainstorms in summer, so bring a waterproof jacket to stay warm and dry.
