It is the least populated of the US states and the land of cowboys, Native Americans, rodeos, and bison. In short, it embodies a certain image of America from the time of the Frontier, traces of which can still be found in many places. But as always in this part of the American territory, it is primarily nature that captures attention first. While a third of Wyoming consists of plains, the rest is nothing but mountains, lakes, and forests, with spaces appreciated by visitors such as Grand Teton National Park, the Medicine Bow Mountains, or the Wind River Range, not to mention Yellowstone National Park and its 3 to 4 million visitors per year.
