Wyoming

Wyoming spans across 253,600 square kilometers of diverse terrain, including mountains, plains, and high deserts, making it the tenth largest state in America.

The territory joined the United States as the 44th state in 1890, following significant growth prompted by the Union Pacific Railroad construction in 1867.

Native American tribes, including the Shoshone and Crow, shaped the regional identity through their traditions, hunting practices, and land management methods.

The state capital Cheyenne connects to Denver through Interstate 25, providing access to major transportation routes and commercial centers.

Wyoming contains 96 percent of Yellowstone National Park, featuring over 500 active geysers and extensive thermal areas within its boundaries.
