scenic wonders.
Bryce Canyon, open year-round, is a series of large natural amphitheaters with thousands of multicolored

most exquisitely under the softer light of the rising or setting sun. This 20 mile long scenic park offers
many viewpoints, and the opportunity to hike or take horseback rides along trails into the canyon. You'll
be astonished by the contrast of the red-hued formations and the richest blue sky you've ever seen.

National Recreation Area with Capitol Reef and Bryce Canyon National Parks. A vast desert maze of
canyons and unique formations for hiking and exploration.
Capitol Reef National Park is part of the famous Waterpocket Fold, a 100-mile long wrinkle in the
earth's crust known to geologists as a monocline. This park is filled with grand and colorful geologic
features.
Glen Canyon National Recreation Area (Lake Powell) offers unparalleled opportunities for water-based
and back country recreation. The recreation area stretches hundreds of miles from Lees Ferry in Arizona
to the Orange Cliffs of southern Utah, encompassing scenic vistas, geologic wonders, and a panorama of
human history.

Live the Legend of Cheyenne
Like many western towns, Cheyenne sprang up in the path of the transcontinental railroad in 1867. Nicknamed Hell on Wheels, the rowdy town of railroad workers and soldiers from nearby Fort D.A. Russell was teeming with numerous saloons and burlesque theaters.
Cheyenne did not remain a wild town for long, as a booming livestock industry attracted investment from eastern and foreign cattle barons. In the 1880s, Cheyenne was the wealthiest per capita city in the world.
Today, Cheyenne boasts many attractions that hearken back to its early days. Victorian mansions and historic buildings like the Capitol and Governors' Mansion dominate downtown. The grand Union Pacific Depot is home to a Visitors Center, restaurant, and the Cheyenne Depot Museum.
During the summer, the Cheyenne Gunslingers (800-426-5009) perform free western skits and gunfights at 6:00 p.m. each weeknight. Cheyenne's Holliday Park is also home to one of the few surviving Big Boys, the largest steam locomotive ever made.
Cheyenne also has a Museum Loop Tour that includes the Cheyenne Frontier Days(TM) Old West Museum (307-778-7290), the Nelson Museum of the West (307-635-7670), the Cheyenne Botanic Gardens (307-637-6458), and the Wyoming State Museum (307-777-7022).
Cheyenne Frontier Days (TM) (800-227-6336), begun in 1897, has grown into the largest outdoor rodeo and western celebration in the world. The celebration includes daily rodeos, nightly concerts, an Indian Village, parades, art shows, pancake breakfasts, a carnival, and more. The 116th Frontier Days takes place July 20-29, 2012. And for those of you planning far in advance, the 117th Frontier Days are July 19-28, 2013.
