TRAVEL TIPS
GETTING TO KNOW WYOMING
The rugged Rocky Mountains meet the vast High Plains (high-elevation prairie) in Wyoming, which encompasses 253,348 square kilometres in the western United States. Whilst the state is the U.S.’ 10th largest, it is the least populated and teems with wild landscapes, wide-open expanses and enduring frontier traditions.
WHEN TO GO
Summer offers warm days and cool nights with low humidity, whilst autumn brings crisp, sunny days — perfect for viewing colour-changing leaves. Winter temperatures can dip into the single digits, but the dry air facilitates perfect snow for skiing and other cold-weather pursuits. Snow is possible year-round in the mountainous areas, so pack accordingly and dress in layers no matter the season.
WINTER DRIVING TIPS
Wyoming weather can be unpredictable and change in a moment’s notice. Make sure your car’s tyres are inflated properly, brakes are in good condition and the petrol and windscreen-wiper fluid tanks are full. If you encounter ice or snow on the road, proceed slowly to maintain full control of your vehicle.
