Wyoming spans over 250,000 square miles of high plains and rugged mountain terrain. To the north and northwest lie Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton; south and east are the open vistas of the Great Plains. The state is defined by dramatic ranges — the Wind River Range, Bighorn Mountains, and Black Hills — and iconic routes such as the Beartooth Highway and Yellowstone's Lamar Valley. Visitors come to Yellowstone for geysers, hot springs, and large wildlife; to Jackson and Cody for history and western culture; and to outdoor corridors for activities from backcountry hiking and climbing to fishing and winter sports. Wyoming rewards travelers who seek wide-open skies, alpine lakes, and a sense of frontier remoteness.
