INDEPENDENT COUNTY VISITOR GUIDES
Laramie County Visitor Guide
Cheyenne, Pine Bluffs, Burns, Curt Gowdy State Park, and the rest of the county. Verified as of November 2026.
ABOUT THE SERIES
One county at a time
Wide Open Wyoming is a county-by-county series of independent visitor guides covering all 23 counties in the state. Each guide is checked against official attraction and agency pages, and the date it was verified is printed right on it.The first edition is a Laramie County guide, not a Cheyenne weekend packaged as a county: the capital city, the towns along I-80 to the Nebraska line, the state park west of town, and the sites that are already closed for the season.Where a figure could not be confirmed, or official pages disagree, the guide says so and marks it "check before you go."
GUIDE 01 / 23
Laramie County
Ten pages for planning two or three days in Laramie County: a county overview and schematic locator map, a day-by-day outline, downtown Cheyenne, the parks and museums, the east county to Pine Bluffs, west and south of Cheyenne, and practical notes on weather, roads, and packing.
Page previews from the guide. Hours and fees change, so confirm the week you travel.

CHECK BEFORE YOU GO
November in Laramie County
This is a high-plains shoulder season: short days, real wind, and a reasonable chance of snow even when the morning looks open. Cheyenne's November normals are an average high of 47.5°F, an average low of 24.7°F, and 7.5 inches of snow (NOAA 1991–2020 climate normals, not a forecast).Check WYDOT 511 before every drive at wyoroad.info or 1-888-WYO-ROAD. High-profile vehicle wind restrictions are common on I-25 and I-80 in November.Some sites are closed for the season, including the Quebec 01 Missile Alert Facility (reopens May 2027) and the Nelson Museum of the West (special events only until May 1). The guide lists closures plainly so a drive is a choice, not a surprise.National Weather Service Cheyenne
