The Charming Small Town in Wyoming That’s Perfect For A Fall Day Trip

Ahhh ... autumn. The most colorful of seasons! While you'll still find crowds flocking to our national parks as summer draws to a close, overall, fewer travelers visit Wyoming in fall, making autumn in Cowboy Country a beautiful, well-kept secret. This fall, if you're seeking solitude, scenic sights, and a plethora of outdoorsy activities, Hulett, Wyoming might just be one of the most underrated small towns to enjoy the beauty of the season!

When the seasons change, the landscapes around Hulett come alive with color. To enjoy it all, start with the most iconic: exploring Devils Tower and its many trails.

Hulett is nestled on the outer edge of the Bear Lodge Mountains, so you'll also find plenty of opportunities to get out and hike or ride your way through some of the prettiest autumn sights in Northeast Wyoming.

Be sure to check out the "Wyoming Wind Circle" at the Devils Tower campground while you're here!

The Circle of Smoke statue pays homage to the local tribes that treasure this landscape as sacred.

The scenic Belle-Fourche River runs through Devils Tower country and into South Dakota. Enjoy the vibrant beauty with a relaxing stroll, a fly-fishing outing, or late-season getaway at one of the many dispersed campsites in the Black Hills.

Back in town, you'll find far more quality dining options than expected from such a small town. The Ponderosa Café is the perfect place to start.

But in the spirit of autumn, you can also dine with a view at Devils Tower Gulch or 77 Steakhouse and Saloon. What better way to enjoy the changing seasons than steak al fresco against a backdrop of lush, transforming aspens?

And for a good night's sleep, we recommend opting for a cozy, remote inn that boasts panoramic views of Mother Nature's handiwork. Sawin' Logs B&B is a sweet family-run gem far away from the crowds, and it comes complete with a picture-perfect porch that you can't help but want to drink apple cider on.

However you choose to enjoy your fall getaway, Hulett has a little taste of everything!

With multiple scenic routes, spectacular vistas, and iconic natural wonders all glowing with the colors of autumn, Hulett is definitely an overlooked gem when it comes to enjoying fall in Wyoming! What other sights in the area would you recommend?

For even more things to do near Hulett, Keyhole State Park is just a short drive away. You'll also find a wealth of hiking opportunities in nearby Sundance, plus plenty of waterfront bliss at Cook Lake.
