9 Reasons Why Wyoming Is The Most Underrated State In The US

No matter where you are in the state, you'll find stunning windshield views waiting for you. From the mountains, to the great divide basin, to the desert and even high prairie, you'll find stunning views out here.

While other states shut down over blizzards, we're just getting started. Skiing, sledding, snowmobiling and more are the thing we do to get out and use all that snow the skies bring us.

Parts of Wyoming are as diverse as the Serengeti! You'll find wolves, coyotes, moose, elk, black bears, grizzly bears, mule deer and much, much more - and that's just in a quick glance!

Wyoming is full of open range. Ranchers still work cattle alongside busy highways, the state sport is still Rodeo, and you're more likely to find some worn down cowboy boots from ranch work out here than almost anywhere else. The only thing we're missing in the outlaws.

Even if you claim to hate Yellowstone, it's impossible to hate Yellowstone. We've taken the most inhospitable environment in the country and turned it into a stunning display of nature's power. It truly is breathtaking.

There's no question that Wyoming was settled in an unsettling way. While much of the land here was taken in violent, US Army raids and Native blood was shed on these lands, we've at least learned a bit of a lesson. Native sites like the Medicine Wheel are now protected, we've named the Chief Joseph byway after the famous Nez Perce leader, and several museums tell the plight of those whose land was stolen by our ancestors.

First National Monument? Devils Tower. First National Park? Yellowstone. First National Forest? Shoshone. We're pioneers in more than one way.

With millions of acres set aside as open range, and millions more being used as cattle ranches, it's no wonder you can find some of the best beef in the world out here. Plus, with game meats such as elk and bison in good supply, it's easy to enjoy a delicious meal that would delight any carnivore.

Despite our reputation for remaining solitary and isolated, Wyomingites are some of the kindest people in America. We're glad to lend a hand and make friends with pretty much everyone we meet.
