Wyoming, most famously home of Yellowstone National Park, has no shortage of natural wonders waiting to be explored. Amid all the state's wild places and open spaces, its cowboy culture and Western heritage are alive and well, particularly in towns like Cody and Laramie. Ski gear and cowboy hats coexist in Jackson Hole, while Cheyenne, the state's largest city, is home to museums, galleries, historic architecture and the annual Frontier Days festival. So what is Wyoming's best attraction?
We asked 10Best readers to vote daily for their favorites, and the results are in. The top 10 winners in the category Best Wyoming Attraction are as follows:
- Pryor Mountain Wild Mustang Center - Lovell
- The Brinton Museum - Big Horn

- Buffalo Bill Center of the West - Cody
- Fossil Butte National Monument - Kemmerer
- Hot Springs State Park - Thermopolis
- Yellowstone National Park
- Grand Teton National Park

A panel of experts partnered with 10Best editors to picked the initial 20 nominees, and the top 10 winners were determined by popular vote. Experts Flash Parker and Carter G. Walker (Moon Montana & Wyoming) were chosen based on their knowledge and experience of travel in Wyoming.
Congratulations to all these winning attractions!
