Wyoming Highlights

Wyoming's landscape features diverse geological formations and historic landmarks. This collection spans from the igneous columns of Devils Tower to the world’s tallest active geyser, Steamboat, in Yellowstone National Park. Historic sites include the 60-foot granite Ames Pyramid and the Fossil Bone Cabin, constructed from prehistoric remains. Pioneer history is preserved at the Parting of the Ways on the Oregon Trail and the T. A. Moulton Barn, a remnant of early 20th-century homesteading in the Teton Valley.
