Even mild winters in Wyoming bring plentiful supplies of snow, and because the season tends to come early and stay long past its welcome, it’s not surprising that we get anxious for spring. Still, there’s something peacefully beautiful about the snowy season in Wyoming. The fluffy powder blankets everything from the tree-covered mountainsides to the high plains and towns, conjuring the illusion you’ve crossed over into a snow globe. Just take a look at these 8 Wyoming towns that transform into especially enchanting snow-covered scenes when winter hits.
Whatever the winter brings, Cody is beautiful when blanketed in snow. Take a gander at the city in its glittering glory after the relentless snowstorms last year:
Surrounded by trees, the mountain town of Pinedale looks as if it's been covered in sugar icing after a snowfall. Even the air sparkles like tiny bits of glitter are suspended in it.
This quaint Wyoming town has loads of character on every street. Wherever the snow falls, whether on the homes or the historic downtown buildings, it transforms Laramie into a winter wonderland.
The town square in Jackson is charming any time of year, but it's even more enchanting when someone shakes the globe causing snow to gently drift about.
Sometimes the smallest towns are the best settings for enchanting scenes. It's not much of a stretch of the imagination to believe Ten Sleep in winter was pulled right out of a snowglobe landscape.
If ever an area of the Cowboy State was tailor-made to be a snow-fantasy tableau, it's Alpine. The pine trees, the mountains, even the local wildlife covered in snow are mesmerizing.
There's a peaceful sort of atmosphere that descends on Sheridan along with a layer of fluffy white snow. You just want to shake the globe and watch it fall over and over again.
