is a land of independent and self- sufficient people; to survive, here,
you just about have to be. The folks, here, also tend to "... be of
few words." Perhaps so but if you want information - and have time
for a few stories - just head for one of our favorite stops: the
visitors' center. You just won't find people any friendlier - sincerely
so - than the folks here in Wyoming.
Take I-90 exit 9 to take US-14 into Yellowstone National Park. This highway climbs over the 9,000+ foot Granite Pass, then descends down Shell Canyon to cross the Big Horn River at Greybull. Continuing on, through Cody, it is another 100 miles to the Yellowstone entrance station. » Nearby Hotels « A portal to
Wyoming's Big Horn Mountains and gateway to Yosemite National Park,
Sheridan is primarily outdoors-oriented. The nearby Big Horn National
Forest offers fishing, hiking, biking and camping (and rock climbing)
when there is no snow on the ground and snowmobiling, downhill or cross
country skiing when there is. Hunting and fishing are also very popular
attracting people from all over the world. Jim Gatchell Museum
- Dedicated to preserving the history of this area around the famous Bozeman Trail,
the Jim Gatchell Museum has on display the American West of the 19th
Century. Over 15,000 artifacts are on display including old firearms ("...that tamed the West") and other pioneer and Native American items. Photographs tell many stories of frontier times, the hardships and final triumph. |
Visitors' Center
- Gillette's Visitors' Center is at 1810 S. Douglass Hwy. This is on the
south side of I-90 exit 126 (just a few feet from the exit). Coal Mine Tours - Regularly, during the summer, you can participate in a FREE coal mine tour. Tours depart from the Visitors' Center. Contact the Visitors' Center for more information at (toll free) 1-800-544-6136. Rock Pile Museum
- a new-style museum featuring hands-on displays of artifacts depicting
the lives and times of cowboys, soldiers, homesteaders and local Native
Americans. Devil's Tower
National Monument - Rising 1,287 feet above the nearly encompassing Belle Fourche River like a gigantic chimney, Devil's Tower has been a
land mark to the pioneers in their westward treks and a sacred site in
the worshipping of several Native American tribes (they called it Bear's
Lodge). It was proclaimed as a national monument in 1906 by President
Theodore Roosevelt.
