Wyoming

Titcomb Basin -- photo by skunk ape

The state of Wyoming is a vast and beautiful place that includes a wide variety of scenery and landscapes. While large areas of the state are simply prairies covered with sage brush, the mountain ranges scattered throughout it include some of the most remote and wild wilderness areas found anywhere in the United States. While the number of high and prominent peaks here is lower than the surrounding states, Wyoming is home to the Grand Teton, one of the most famous peaks in the world, and the Wind River and Absaroka Ranges, both of which present the hikers, mountaineers, and outdoor enthusiasts who visit them with varying sets of challenges and ample aesthetic rewards.

The mean elevation of the state of Wyoming is 6,700 feet above sea level, making Wyoming the second highest state just after Colorado. With the Continental Divide wandering diagonally across the state's mountains from the northwest corner to the south central part of the state, Wyoming is the home of Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks and Devils Tower National Monument. The highest point in Wyoming is Gannett Peak, in the Wind River Range, at 13,804 feet above sea level. The lowest point in Wyoming is the Belle Fourche River at 3,099 feet above sea level.
