Nov 3
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.
