Cool Things To Do After You Move To Cheyenne Wyoming
For the tourist in you, you can enjoy the Big Boy Steam Engine with the old locomotive from the time the railroads conquered the West and opened the country up to settlers, prospectors and those with the will to make their fortune on the frontier when this was the Wild West.Old Number 4004 is the largest steam engine in the world - it is long retired but provides a monumental reminder of days gone by.
Don’t forget you are in real cowboy country here and you can check out the Cheyenne Big Boots sculptures located around the city providing fine examples of local artists blending their skills with the real history and tradition of Cheyenne and Wyoming.
Cheyenne was built as a pioneer town and grew from a staging and trading post to a commercial hub of the West.Life then was very different from the modern conveniences and luxuries we experience today. A very popular attraction is the Cheyenne Frontier Day’s rodeo which also works in conjunction with the Cheyenne Frontier Day’s Old West Museum & Store where you can see relics and exhibits from the olden golden days of the Wild west and then experience a real rodeo to round off the experience.
Located just out of Cheyenne is the Terry Bison Ranch which provides a practical reminder of how native Indians and the first explorers and settlers made their living and fed themselves. You can have a great day out here with plenty to see and do but expect to be very tired at the end of the day (a great place for you to take the children if you want some peace at bedtime). Get the best of outdoor cooking, real life cowboys and demonstrations, saloon bar and horseback riding like it was in the old days.
No visit to Cheyenne would be complete without a Wild West gunfight so haul over to the Cheyenne Gunslingers who stage reenactments for thousands of visitors every year.The Cheyenne Gunslingers hold their events in the downtown Old Town Square where the streets ring with the sound of six-guns and rifle fire as the Good Guys battle it out with the Black Hats.You can even participate sometimes, but you'd better dress the part!
Cheyenne is a historic town and particularly the Old District in the Downtown area has a lot of old buildings that need to be seen using the appropriate mode of transport – the horse drawn carriage. You can find one of many carriages operated by the Horse Drawn Carriage Rides Company operating around the downtown area and the charges are modest but you get to see Cheyenne how it was meant to be seen, from an open carriage and at a pace you can take in everything the city has to offer.
