3) Wyoming
Known for housing Yellowstone National Park, this mid-western state doesn’t get credit for much else. However, you’d be mistaken to assume it’s the only thing Wyoming can offer (although this is a common assumption). Roughly one third of Wyoming’s visitors come to explore Yellowstone. The other two-thirds have been savvy enough to discover the other benefits of traveling to Wyoming. Jackson Hole is one of the nation’s highest rated ski destinations and luxury getaway spots. Skiing aside, the mountain scenery here is mind-bogglingly beautiful. Those who appreciate the great outdoors are the ones most likely to jive with Wyoming. The Fossil Butte National Monument is one-of-a-kind and Grand Teton National Park offers endless activities like hiking, camping, river floats, and horseback riding. Not into nature? That’s okay – those interested in the Old West times will love the Old Trail Town with buildings dating back to the Buffalo Bill days.
