Wyoming, our least populous state, starts on the Great Plains but rises to the west into several distinct mountain ranges (the Tetons; Big Horn Mountains) and range lands. The state is crisscrossed by the Continental Divide, so that its rivers flow in two directions, depending on their location. Yellowstone is Wyoming’s best-known feature, a park of international fame, but Devil’s Tower, Fort Laramie, and Fossil Butte receive acclaim. Cheyenne, the capital, was not reached by the Union Pacific Railroad until 1867, but it spurred an increase in Wyoming’s people. Its low unemployment is due to steady work in agriculture and mining (coal, natural gas, and oil; plus it has the world’s largest source of trona—sodium carbonate.) The hospitals in Cheyenne, Laramie, and Casper are good, and the state’s healthy economy has produced a health care network that blankets the entire state. Medical Travelers Inc. reports that pay for travel nurses is fair, with the added benefit of partaking in the values of independence and high personal integrity. Single travel nurses working here have frequently developed life-long attachments. It’s a wild country, where the unfettered power of nature is always present. Besides Yellowstone and Old Faithful, there’s the world-class skiing at Jackson Hole, the Buffalo Bill Historical Center, the Elk Refuge, and the National Museum of Wildlife Art at Jackson. Other attractions include the world’s largest elk horn in Afton, the daily street gunfights in Cody, the jackalope rides in Dubois, the giant Abe Lincoln head in Laramie, the Old West Wax Museum in Thermopolis, and the dinosaur bone house in Medicine Bow.
