WYOMING
Like No Place on Earth
The Century-old adventure story of Wyoming has all the ingredients of a Classic Western. In a colorful setting of vast rangeland and rugged mountains, a cast of Indians, trappers, stockmen, farmers, miners and oilmen have played their roles in a sometimes flamboyant, sometimes starkly simple drama of conflict and growth. The protagonist of the tale - and probably the most enduring character in American lore - is the cowboy, the very essence of the state.
SHOSHONE NATIONAL FOREST
America's First National Forest
Established by presidential proclamation in 1891 as the nation's first forest reserve, the Shoshone National Forest occupies nearly 2.5 million acres in northwestern Wyoming. Its boundaries extend south from Montana and include parts of the Beartooth, Absaroka and Wind River mountains. The forest includes the state's highest mountain, Gannett Peak. Elevations in the forest range from 4,600 feet at Clarks Fork Canyon to 13,804 feet at Gannett Peak.
