We left Denver today and headed for Cheyenne Wyoming. It was a quick drive... about an hour and a half. We spent some time walking around the historic city, known in the wild west days as "Hell on Wheels." We had lunch at the Albany Restaurant and Bar. After that we headed to the Wrangler, a western outfitter that was established in 1943. I finally was able to fulfill my life long dream of getting a pair of cowboy boots from Wyoming. I also got a hat. I couldnt resist. We had dinner at the Capitol Grill in The Plains Hotel. The hotel was one of the major hot spots in the old west times. It was the areas most elegant hotel built in the late 1800's, with marble staircases and all the best amenities.
Tomorrow we head to Jackson via the Grand Tetons. We'll be there for two days then into Yellowstone National Park. Its about 400 miles from here to Jackson and promises to be a great scenic drive.
Here's some photos from the day.
Wyoming State House (not as nice the the Massachusetts State House)
Cowboy Boot Sculpture... There are about 30 of them around the town that have been painted by different artists.
