10 Monuments & Statues in Wyoming That You Shouldn't Miss

November 13, 2021 Trinity Boughner

Wyoming boasts a positively selfish hoard of natural outdoor beauty! From the soaring peaks of the Grand Tetons to Jackson Hole valley and Yellowstone National Park, the mountain landscape and natural wonders of Wyoming are breathtaking. All-season outdoor activities prove a natural draw for families, couples and group getaways. Sports lovers golf through spring and summer at attractive rates or tackle river and lake fishing, hunting and hiking. Families take to Alpine skiing and snowmobiling in Jackson Hole, Snow King, Grand Targhee and Pine Creek. Every visitor is awed by the deep canyons and steaming geysers of The Yellowstone National Park. Each magnificent sight rivals the next. The Grand Tetons rise over a mile above Jackson Hole valley, where a ride on the Aerial Tram from Teton Village offers unforgettable views. Across the entire state, wildlife stakes its rightful claim, from bison and bighorn sheep herds to black bear and mountain elk. For a step back in frontier history, take the family to Go Native America to experience Native American culture, history and arts of the Plains Tribes. Enjoy tours with indigenous guides, horseback riding and roping lessons. With every experience, your family will gain a sense of the pioneer spirit that pushed America westward.

Ames Monument

Reviewed By krauser848 - Pahrump, United States

It doesn't take long to drive out and see this monument. It commemorates the completion of the transcontinental railroad. It's a short walk from your vehicle to the monument and you can walk all the way around to see the sculptures on each side. You can see this and the bust of Abe Lincoln monument on the Lincoln Memorial Highway on the same side trip from Laramie.

Abraham Lincoln Memorial Monument

Reviewed By MonteRicardobalm - Denver, United States

Was wondering why my MPG was 15 and also why I was feeling cold and buzzy. Pulled over at a rest area and saw a sign indicating highest elevation on I-80; 8500 or so. Anyway, very nice large rest area with the Babraham Lincoln sculpture and a room with lots of glass windows and a separate room it’s a video celebrating Wyoming State sparks and Sites. Did some form of yoga and hung-out for 30 minutes. Lots of displays with pictures and descriptions of the National Parks and sites in this state. No WIFI but a fairly strong cell signal.
