10 Things to do Good for Adrenaline Seekers in Wyoming That You Shouldn't Miss
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.

Range of mountains close to Laramie which offer a wide variety of outdoor sports.
Reviewed By DillonM1905 - Eldersburg, United States
Less than an hour from Laramie, the national forest is a must see for hikers and other outdoors lovers. We took the loop trail to Medicine Bow Peak (clockwise) and it was fantastic; the views were amazing and the hike was a challenge. We were happy we brought our poles for crossing a large snowfield and coming down the steep trail near the peak. Get early for parking in summer as the lot filled up quick, as did parts of the trail.

A spectacular waterfall located in Canyon Country.
Reviewed By Tommy599 - Two Rivers, United States
We crossed Chittenden bridge across the Yellowstone river; stopping first at Uncle Toms to view the smaller upper Falls, then on to Artist Point to view the MAGNIFICENT lower falls and the unbelievable colors of the canyon. It is IMPOSSIBLE to describe the majesty of this waterfall and canyon colors, so we will not even try,

This 870-foot stone monument, thought to have been created from the remains of a volcano, is the center of many Indian religious ceremonies.

Off the bucket list!!! We finally made it to Devils Tower in NE Wyoming. We had stayed the night before in Rapid City SD and on our way back to Colorado we stopped at the Tower. From the first glimpse some 25 miles away we both said “wow!” The drive from Rapid City to the Monument is quite beautiful and a great way to appreciate the West in all its history and glory! The Devils Tower is a well maintained park area with a nice visitors center that has the geologic information. The Tower itself at some 950’+ is awe inspiring and a great place to take the few mile, mostly flat, walk around its base! Truly a Close Encounter of the BEST Kind!!!

Awesome views during spring runoff. The Cascade Creek is full of water running down the mountain. The photos speak 1000 words. To get to this canyon, you either have to hike the Jenny Lake trail or take the ferry. Hike is about 40 mins, 1.9 miles, at about a 40 foot incline. Ferry costs about

Tallest mountain in the Grand Teton Range.
Reviewed By Vagabonds5358
This is the ninth trip to the Grand Teton National Park I my lifetime. In remains my favorite of all the national parks I have visited. It’s beauty never seems to get old. There are a few roads that gives you access to the east side of the mountains, the the real beauty is hiking the many miles of trails away from the roadside overlooks. This trip we saw elk in rut, a herd of about 200 bison, a number of herds of pronghorn antelope, bald eagles and numerous waterfowl and birds. The fall color with the turning aspen was spectacular. I highly recommend this park to anyone, whether you enjoy the drive, day hiking or backpacking.

A scenic lake popular with hikers and located in Grand Teton National Park.
Reviewed By PatrickRU92
7/27/18 Took the ferry across Jenny Lake and by the time we were done we were VERY glad we did. This is a LONG hike 15+ miles with about 3000 ft elevation gain, and goes up to 9000ft elevation so oxygen is not as plentiful! If you are in decent shape do this hike. As beautiful as Cascade Canyon is (and it IS beautiful) easily the better views are along the North Fork ascending to Lake Solitude. End of July and there was almost no snow at all, only one very small area near the top. Lake was all water too. LOTS of mosquitoes around the lake but that was the only place we ran into them. You will be exhausted but exhilarated!
10. Beartooth Highway

Nestled between two scenic wilderness areas, this drive is considered the "most beautiful road in America."
Reviewed By rowenam872 - Shell, United States
“ The above is a quote from our Swiss friend. Peaks rising over 12,000 ft including the state’s tallest. The Beartooth Plateau is one of the largest landmasses in the United States above 10,000 feet. Hope you find the mountain that looks like a Bear Tooth, I can’t. There are many pointed peaks. Add a mountain goat and pica to this. Lakes, hiking trails, snowmobile trails, and an extreme skier may ski into July. This is Heaven for botanists, wetland ecologists, hydrologists, and soil scientists due to the Mountain fens (peat-accumulating wetlands) or groundwater-dependent habitats. Read the other Advisor notes before you go. They mention the weather. That can change any day.
