Wyoming Basin, Physiographic province in Wyoming and Colorado, United States.
The Wyoming Basin is a high plateau between the Rocky Mountains in Wyoming and Colorado, featuring a landscape of ridges and gentle mountain chains. The region contains several broad valleys and basins marked by geological faults and displaying different rock layers.
The area formed millions of years ago through massive mountain-building processes that shaped the Rocky Mountain landscape. Later, erosion carved out the valleys and basin structures visible today.
Native American tribes utilized the natural corridors of the Wyoming Basin for seasonal migrations and established trade routes through the region.
The best time for exploration is during warmer months when roads and trails are accessible. The region has multiple starting points in both states, and many locations can be reached by car.
The Continental Divide runs through the region and splits water systems that flow toward different oceans. This creates streams in one area that move in completely opposite directions.
