Also worth a stop in Wyoming
Terry Bison Ranch
Cheyenne, Wyoming
This massive 27,500-acre working ranch lets you ride a custom train right into the middle of a massive bison herd. You can hand-feed these majestic giants, go horseback riding, and dine at the on-site steakhouse. It is a classic Old West experience that once hosted President Theodore Roosevelt.
Tree in the Rock
Laramie, Wyoming
This resilient limber pine tree has been growing directly out of a solid granite boulder since at least the 1800s. Originally noticed by Union Pacific Railroad surveyors, the tracks were detoured slightly to preserve it. Today, it stands as a unique testament to nature's persistence in the median of Interstate 80.
Smith Mansion
Wapiti, Wyoming
This towering, whimsical wooden structure is a monument to obsessive creation. Hand-built by local builder Lee Smith using logs he harvested himself, this fascinating 'crazy house' stands empty and incomplete in the Wapiti Valley, sparking the imagination of every passing traveler.
