Book Description
Like other guidebooks in the Hidden series, Hidden Wyoming reviews the popular attractions -- such as Jackson Hole, the quiet ranching community transformed into a collection of million-dollar alpine resorts -- then invites readers to go further by exploring "hidden" spots other guides overlook such as Gros Ventre River Ranch with its inexpensive log cabins, nearby summer fly-fishing streams, and winter snowshoeing trails. Travel writer John Gottberg is equally comfortable describing a ride down a stretch of white water, the atmosphere at an exclusive resort, or the history of an Old West mining town, making him uniquely qualified to lead visitors through the state's amazing landscape of high mountain peaks, alpine lakes, hot springs, ghost towns, and lost bits of wilderness. This guide covers Wyoming's Wild West heritage, listing 18 Indian museums, ten trading post craft shops, and four cowboy museums. Over four dozen parks and wilderness areas are described including information on camping, hiking, boating, and horseback riding.
