I've been surprised by the number of cyclists here. Some of them will park up at the highway and ride 30-40 miles one way toward the mountains, then turn around and go back.
Lots of western hats here, but the style depends on what part of the state you're in. Modern "rodeo" styles seem more popular along the eastern/ southeastern part, but you get more of the vaquero hats as you go north or west.
I've covered Wyoming , (From Cheyenne to Laramie to Casper to Cody to Sheridan to Gillette) and it wins My Award for the Windiest Place (consistently) I've ever been . First time I got out of the Truck I learned Button Up and Hold On to your Hat or something or someone is Leaving the ground , you and your Hat , or your Hat . Thats Some Serious Wind out of the West ! The Windy City ain't got nothing on Wyoming in that Department ! WHOA !!! Beautiful State , especially Western , but don't get caught in the winter when they close the Gates behind you ! You'll Freeze ! Jackson Hole and all that is really pretty , too , Jackson is a little touristy , but I saw a lot of both (Rodeo and Vaquero) in the Western Part depending where you were . Love Frontier Days , and Cheyenne (but it always makes me sad remembering the day Lane Frost was hooked) . Buckaroo is just a transliteration of Vaquero . I love Wyoming !
