What to Do (and Eat) in Laramie, WY

Laramie, in southeastern Wyoming, is on the opposite side of the state from such big-name tourist draws as Yellowstone National Park and Jackson Hole. But there’s enough to do (and eat!) in Laramie to make it a destination in its own right. Here’s why you should go there.

Laramie, Wyoming, is a small, youthful college town, home to Wyoming’s only university and a diverse range of restaurants that appeal to visiting out-of-towners. It’s a traditional cowboy town, particularly when the rodeo comes through to the local fairgrounds, as it recently did during July’s Jubilee Days festivities. It’s a high-plains, big-sky town (7,165 feet up) with lots of outdoor enthusiasts, where trout-filled rivers abound and a short drive in either direction brings you to dramatic, beautiful mountain ranges or rock formations.

For non-collegiate travelers, Laramie might be a stopover for those driving cross-country, heading to points northwest in the state, or perhaps going down to Denver, a short 2.5 hours away. For us, however, it was a destination, a place to stay and hang out, hike and eat very well for a few days. And it delivered in a big way.

Between all the traditional Wyoming foods and local beers, the free museums and stunning hikes, there is plenty to do, see, and eat in Laramie. Here’s why this part of southern Wyoming should be on your destination radar the next time you’re out West.
