WYOMING, United States of America
Where the wild west comes alive.
Rodeos, ranches, cowboy towns; mountains, spectacular scenery, grazing lands for sheep and cattle, rich mineral deposit.
It's the leading coal producing state, leader in petroleum and natural gas production.
It's capital is Cheyenne.
The most tipical village is Jackson and Teton.
The state's nickname is: "equality state".
Wyoming means "mountains and valleys alternating".
Among its many attractions, there is
Yellowstone National Park
It's the largest intact temperate-zones ecosystem on the planet.
The world first and oldest National Park.
With active Geysers, herds of bisons and grizzlies.
The best way to visit it, is by driving the Grand Loop (142 mile-long road. It curves around in a figure-eight past the park most striking national features.
It takes up to 4 - 7 hours to complete the loop!
The old faithful: one of the park attractions. It offers regular eruptions (intervals of 35 to 120 minutes. the eruption lasts for half a minute to five, at 90 or 180 feet).
Nearby, the historic hotel Old Faithful Inn can host visitors, with a log-cabin style.
Grand Canyon (similar to the one in Arizona), steep 20-mile long gorge.
Hayden Valley: dotted with large herds of bison, prime spot for wildlife viewing. Coyote's also easy to spot!
The best time to visit is in late spring, as in summer the Grand Loop almost reaches its saturation point.
In winter, many points are closed.
The park has got five entrances, and it is suitable to bring your binocular to enjoy the view at its highest!
