Wild and Wonderful Wyoming

Done a lot of driving, done a lot of travelling, and so I feel semi-qualified in saying this:
Wyoming is the most beautiful state I've ever seen in the U.S. Look at these mountains!-

It is absolutely gorgeous, and the next few posts I hope will convince you too.

We arrived in Wyoming and drove some state highways to arrive at Buffalo, Wyoming for the evening. Some highlights that day were this amazing rock formations along the way:

I don't know that this picture will do it justice here, but this formation was enormous. I wish I remembered the name...

And you can see for as lush as the forest was in spots, the raw ravages of wildfires stripped the land in others, eerily beautiful in its starkness.

We spent the night in quaint Buffalo, Wyoming. From Buffalo NY (near Niagara Falls) to New Buffalo, Michigan (near Chicago) and now Buffalo, WY. Things really coming full circle, huh? We were treated to another beautiful sunset, as you can see...

and awoke the next day for a scenic 6-hour drive to Yellowstone National Park, via Little Bighorn (above) and the Shoshone National Forest (at the left).

Yellowstone itself is largely in Wyoming as well but Yellowstone really needs its own post; stay tuned...
