Sometimes what you need is a state with wide open spaces and as few people around as possible. Sometimes what you need is a state with magnificent mountains. If that’s what you need then Wyoming is absolutely the state for you. It’s the state with the lowest population in the entire country. And, yes, some of its mountainous vistas are indeed truly stunning.
Wyoming is absolutely the place to be if you want stunning vistas, actually. It is home to Yellowstone National Park, Grand Teton National Park, Devil’s Tower, Fossil Butte National Monument. You’ll never find a more impressive, breathtaking and concentrated collection of protected natural beauty anywhere else in the country than right there in Wyoming.
In fact, you can easily traverse between Grand Teton National Park and Yellowstone National Park by hopping on the John D. Rockefeller Memorial Parkway, a scenic road that connects the two national parks.
Want to do more driving? Just live in Wyoming. The state’s residents do plenty of it on their own, to the tune of about 23,290 miles annually in the 659,665 cars registered on Wyoming’s roads. Anyone without a car can go to one of the 188 dealerships with cars for sale found throughout the state. And even with so few dealerships they still manage to generate about $1.29 billion in new car sales and help support the 8,456 auto industry jobs found there.
And when traveling through Wyoming, you’ve probably noticed that their license plates have a cowboy atop a bucking bronco. That bronco has a name: 'Old Steamboat,' and he was infamous for being un-rideable back around the turn of the century in the early 1900s. Old Steamboat now lives on with every car passing by.
Just be sure that when you’re out fishing that you don’t use a firearm as your instrument of catching the fish. That’s against the law.
