Why These Wyoming Towns Are Perfect For Your Next Adventure

I'm always a little bit leery about reading advice about Wyoming from a national source. Usually, it's generic information from someone who's likely never been here.

Sometimes, the information will make you look deeper into the subject matter to see more about the topic at hand. Since we all have Google in our back pockets a majority of the time, it's easier to make our final determination.

The World Atlas is one of the sources I've found that generates a wealth of information about Wyoming. The site has been around since the early days of the Internet in 1994 when just under 3,000 websites were created. Their goal was to offer themselves as a resource for people seeking more information about their local area.

The latest highlights the prettiest eight small towns in Wyoming. Being a small town in Wyoming isn't unusual, as there are only a few towns with over 25,000 people living in them.

Looking through the nine towns they chose to be on their list, they're not the smallest towns except for their number eight. One thing they all have in common, though, is that they are all located near big attractions that enhance the desire for people to visit.

National Parks, National Monuments, National Forests, State Parks, and Historic Sites can be found near the towns.

Here are eight of the prettiest small towns in Wyoming, according to World Atlas:

1. Jackson - Close to Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks with some of the state's most popular ski resorts and history.
2. Buffalo - At the foot of the Bighorn National Forest, Wyoming, history runs deep around the town and community.
3. Lander - The area surrounding Lander offers adventures to hunters, fishers, hikers, and campers in the Wind River Mountain Range.
4. Green River - Expedition Island offers attractions such as festivals, fishing, and wildlife viewing, all of which draw visitors in.
5. Laramie - The home to the state's only University, geology, museums, the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest, and Snowy Range Skiing offers visitors a fun experience.
6. Rock Springs - Killerpeck Sand Dunes, Boar's Tusk structure, and the Flaming Gorge National Recreation area are all attractions to bring people into town.
7. Cody - Rodeo, Shoshone National Forest, Yellowstone National Park, the historic Irma Hotel, Buffalo Bill Center of the West, and other Buffalo Bill Cody history make this a must-see town in Wyoming.
8. Sundance - This was an interesting choice for the final town on the list, but it seems they were trying to hit all areas of the state. Sundance is known as the Gateway to Devils Tower, situated smack in the middle of the Black Hills, and offers many historic gems.
