Experience the American Frontier
Wyoming is a place of wild contrasts where the red desert meets the blue skies. It is where urban sophistication and the wild temperament of the West collide to create a place that is like no other.
At the center of it all is the capital city of Cheyenne. Set on the eastern edge of the state, Cheyenne is both a frontier town rich in western history as well as growing city with a cosmopolitan flair. Cheyenne’s history as a frontier town gives it a classic American cowboy aesthetic and a downhome vibe that is rarely seen these days. Downtown Cheyenne has seen explosive growth in recent years, which has brought a wealth of new business. A stroll through town offers guests fine eateries, western-themed shops and an eclectic collection of galleries. And this community connected with its environment offers a huge amount of outdoor activities and adventures such as mountain biking, hiking and rustic camping.
Finding exciting things to do in Cheyenne will be an easy affair since there are events and festivals throughout the warmer months. Cheyenne Frontier Days, a week-long celebration that includes a concert series, parades and art shows occurs each July towards end of the month. The week’s main event is the biggest outdoor rodeo in the world, sanctioned by the PRCA, as well as a flight demonstration by the U.S. Air Force Thunderbirds. And when guests are ready for some time around downtown, they will enjoy the gourmet dinners and cutting-edge art openings. To learn more about this interesting part of the country, the Wyoming State Museum has a complete collection of art, displays and artifacts from this amazing region. It’s clear that when you visit Cheyenne, you will experience a piece of American history, all wrapped up in a wonderful and unique town.
Cheyenne is primarily served by Cheyenne Regional Airport – CYS – located right in the center of downtown. It takes no more than 5 minutes to get from CYS to all of Cheyenne’s major hotels, shops and restaurants. Interstate 25 passes CYS, so there is very easy access to many of the region’s open spaces such as Medicine Bow National Forest and Pawnee National grassland. And since CYS is the main airport serving the entire region, it is well-equipped to handle every size and class of business jet.
