First Lady Jennie and I are delighted to welcome you to the Cowboy State. Whether your travels have you motoring along our highways, spending time on the historic main streets of our communities or exploring our public lands, we hope this guide will help you discover the many treasures that make Wyoming unlike anywhere else.
Wyoming’s heritage is firmly rooted in the traditions of the West — independence, resilience and a welcoming approach to our visitors. Our wide-open landscapes tell the stories of earlier generations whose livelihoods depended on hard work and determination. You’ll see this spirit in the people you meet, the communities you visit and the way we care for the land we call home.
Here, natural beauty surrounds you at every turn — from the Teton, Bighorn and Medicine Bow mountains to the rolling prairies, vast forests and numerous backcountry trails. You’ll encounter abundant wildlife in its natural habitat, vibrant cultural events and historic landmarks that tell the story of the American West. Wyoming communities offer the best of small-town America, where you’ll find a warm welcome and a genuine sense of community.
As you explore Wyoming, we ask you to help us preserve what makes this place special. Keep our public lands pristine by practicing “WY Responsibly” principles, respect wildlife by giving them space and honor the quiet beauty of our landscapes.
Wherever your travels take you, I’m certain your Wyoming experience will be memorable. We hope you’ll carry a bit of Wyoming home with you — and return again soon.
Safe travels,
Governor Mark Gordon
