Travel In Wyoming

Monday, March 28th, 2011


In Wyoming you have blue skies, mountains, and rivers for miles. After learning what Wyoming can offer you, that’s what you will be saying. Starting with the world-renowned Yellowstone National Park, there are an awesome amount of Wyoming attractions. Although the state is best known for Yellowstone Park, travelers can also experience an excellent array of historical museums, interesting tourist hotels, and some great tours and day trips.

Like many Wyoming vacations, you can begin in Yellowstone National Park, one of the most popular Wyoming attractions, and make your way over to Cheyenne, the state’s capital. Yellowstone National Park has over 2 million acres of unspoiled land and is home to some great National Monuments such as Old Faithful. The town of Cody Wyoming is nearby with its excellent selection of Cody hotels, a popular place for park-goers to stay during their vacations to Yellowstone.

No Wyoming travel guide would be complete with out a mention of Colonel Buffalo Bill Cody. Buffalo Bill is considered one of the founding fathers of Wyoming, and the city of Cody bears his name. Buffalo Bill was not only famous for his service to the United States Army, but also for the exciting road show he created, which played on the wild nature of the Old West. Buffalo Bill was beloved during his lifetime and has remained an icon of life in Wyoming and 19th century America.

Projects To Help Spur Wyoming Development

Sunday, March 20th, 2011


CHEYENNE, Wyo. — A $290 million modernization of the entire length of Interstate 80 in Wyoming is the most-needed project for future economic development, according to a new report.

The suggested upgrade would include construction of variable-speed lanes and truck climbing lanes.

“Wyoming’s transportation system is the backbone of the state’s economy,” said Frank Moretti of TRIP, the Washington, D.C.-based national nonprofit transportation research organization that compiled the report.

The report, released Wednesday during a media conference, identified 25 projects in the state to provide Wyoming with a transportation system that can support the increased movement of people, goods and natural resources and enhance economic development.

The document, Moretti said, provides a blueprint of the status of the state’s future transportation needs.

Martin Kidner, state planning engineer for the Wyoming Department of Transportation, said during the media conference that the money received by the agency is being spent to preserve existing roads rather than to prepare for future growth.
