Fun tidbits about Wyoming:
- Wyoming boasts two national parks – Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park.
- The world’s largest (and one of only 3) intermittent spring is located near Afton Wyoming. The Periodic Intermittent Spring runs for about 18 minutes, then stops for 15-20 minutes, then starts all over again. Thanks Travel Wyoming.
- Wyoming is the least populated state in the US, making it the ideal location for social distancing.
Travel Notes:
Wyoming is full of natural wonders, but that doesn’t limit visitors to just camping or RVing. There are hotels in every price range, including luxury 5-star accommodations in the Jackson Hole area. We can craft a road trip for any budget. Contact us to create a custom package complete with wildlife safaris, whitewater rafting, private park tours, and more amazing bespoke itineraries. If you do want to take your RV, we can still reserve unique activities to make your trip extra special.
Don’t miss:
- Yellowstone National Park – This is the home of Old Faithful, Mammoth Hot Springs, and the Yellowstone River. When you go, make sure you have time to see the Morning Glory Pool and the Grand Prismatic Spring. These two hot springs put on a colorful show in the forest.
- Grand Teton National Park – Mountains, rivers, serene lakes, postcard-picturesque fields of wildflowers. Whitewater rafting, hiking horseback riding, fishing lake cruises.
- Cheyenne Frontier Days, July 17-26, 2020, featuring 9 days of prorodeo, concerts by Cody Johnson, Blake Shelton, Thomas Rhett, and Eric Church and carnival rides and games. Tickets available here.
- Hot Springs State Park – the world’s largest mineral hot spring. Hike the trails surrounded by breathtaking rock formations, then soak your cares away in the springs. The indoor State Bath House or the outdoor pools are available for rest and relaxation. Camping in the state parks is currently closed to out-of-state residents, so contact us for hotel reservations,
- Ride the alpine roller coaster at Snow King Mountain in Jackson. The coaster pulls you 456 feel up this mountain in the Grand Tetons before releasing you to twist and turn down the mountain. You control your speed. Other activities on the mountain include mini golf, a scenic chairlift, a bungee trampoline, and alpine slide. Buy a day pass and spend the day doing all the activities you want, an evening pass with unlimited activities for 3 hours, or pay by the ride. The park opens May 23. Check here for current conditions.

- The University of Wyoming Art Museum in Laramie has over 7,000 works of art and is free to visit. The museum is currently closed so check here for updates.

Wowww love the morning glory pool! So beautiful
The picture is actually the Grand Prismatic Spring. The Morning Glory Pool is very similar though, but smaller. There are so many springs at Yosemite National Park that are just amazing to see.
Wyoming is lovely with really great tourist attractions. The Grand Prismatic spring though… Very lovely.
It is something you need to see in person to get the full experience.
It is a place where it almost seems that man has not arrived. What beauty, what naturalness, what colors!
wooooow. I want to see that Snow King mountain. I really love snow, coming from a tropical country. How I wish I can go here someday.
Hope you can visit soon.
