Laramie

Laramie, in Southeast Wyoming, is a city of roughly 31,000 residents.

Cheyenne, the state capital, is located about 40 miles (64 kilometers) east of Laramie, while Boulder is 90 miles (145 kilometers) to the south.

If you are into nature, visit Hutton Lake National Wildlife Refuge and Mortenson Lake National Wildlife Refuge, two protected reserves where people often spend time to escape the city. These protected areas are among the best places for families to get out and enjoy the local flora and fauna.

The historical fortifications in the Laramie area are excellent places to explore for visitors interested in the past. Despite a past steeped in conflict, the Fort Sanders is now a peaceful place perfect for reflecting on the sacrifices and struggles of this city’s past citizens.

To get inspired, go and see the University of Wyoming Art Museum, one of the most remarkable museums in Laramie. Admire the building or see if a tour guide is available and try the interactive exhibits.

The Ames Monument and the Red Buttes Observatory, are just two more unique landmarks waiting to delight holidaymakers in in this special part of the world.
