With gratitude, from Wyoming.

One of the best ways to honor our veterans is to learn about our country`s history. One of the best places to do that is at the National Museum of Military Vehicles. Located just outside Dubois, this museum has a world-class collection of military vehicles and artifacts, with galleries that honor veterans and their families.

Meet our local bighorn sheep.

One of the most iconic animals in the West, the male bighorn sheep have curled horns, are great climbers and live in and around Wind River Country. This time of year is the rut, and if you spot bighorn sheep in November, you`ll likely see them compete for the ewes (which is what the female sheep are called).

November is Native American Heritage Month. Wind River Country is home to two tribal nations – the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho. While we share about the tribal nations year-round, this month is a time to honor their cultures, traditions, histories and contributions. As we move into the new month ahead, we invite you to learn more about Indigenous voices and the living culture and landscapes that exist in every part of modern-day Wyoming.

While Wyoming may be known for Yellowstone National Park, the good folks at @lonelyplanet think there`s way more to The Cowboy State than just the park. And, we agree. Read their story all about how to go beyond Yellowstone to Wind River Country at the link in our bio.
