    I am from Macedonia (small country in Europe) and as a student I worked in Yellowstone National Park in 2012 and 2013 and I was in Jackson Hole and Cody every day that I had off I went to see the rodeo there. I have been all over Europe and the US and not a single place was as special as Wyoming. It will be my desired home until my last days. It just took my heart! Big love to all the Americans from a guy who fell in love with your culture and way of life.

      Well... I think we owe Macedonia a GREAT debt of gratitude as well. A few more than critically important people came from your neck of the woods once upon a time. I don't think there'd be an America with them or people like you. It wouldn't be what it is without my grandparents coming here from Calabria and Ireland respectfully either. I just wish more people could see past our warts as you have. For that, we are very thankful. Thank you! Very Much!

    In my Dad's later years, I did my best to help him check off many bucket list items. We got 'em all done but one - a visit to Wyoming. He used to hunt deer around Jeffery City and I got to accompany him twice. He so wanted to get back there but it didn't happen. So when he passed in 2012, it only seemed right to spread his ashes in a place where the two of us stood in awe back in 1970 - the magnificent view overlooking the Great Divide Basin from atop Green Mountain. He finally made it back.

Sure enough they divorced right after my birth & I was forced to be w/ my fathers bright & shiney new family, where they all called me podunky girl. Broken people raising children when they feel like it creates a lot of trauma, so I get nauseous when I think of Sweetwater county, but this documentary helped me appreciate the state a little more Although I can’t foresee myself ever stepping foot back there with so many family issues. But glad to see a fellow Montana lover.

My buddy tried to get me out there for years before I finally agreed to a "once in a liftime" hunting trip, spending $375 on a non resident tag and the grueling 20hr road trip, not to mention hunting and camping in the brutal mountain conditions.
    That "once in a lifetime " trip has now become an annual event and will be until I can no longer hunt.

    Mrs H.H. I’ve been privileged to visit Wyoming three times. Seen Yellowstone, Devils Tower, and an original Pony Express station. I’ve walked in the ruts made by the many wagon wheels of pioneers heading west. I’ve twice seen many of the names carved on Register Cliff. The last time we were there a flock of wild turkeys flew off the cliff right over our heads! What a sight! Been privileged to see many of the beautiful places in this country, from Key West to the northern lighthouse in Maine. Seen the Grand Canyon. (My 15 year old daughter cried when she saw it.) Been to Yosemite, Kings Canyon and Sequoia National Parks.. The giant Sequoia trees took our breath away. I became a tree hugger that trip! Seen the “Black Hills of Dakota”. I’ve been to Zion National Park and a couple of more in Utah. Visited a ghost mining town and road a train in Durango, Colorado. Drove on much of Route 66.......There’s so much beauty out there to see. When the pandemic is over, we’re ready to head out again for more adventures! Stay safe everyone.

I was very surprised, but we went and visited the University. I never got her back. She went on to law school in Laramie and married a native of Thermopolis and now has a family and thriving law practice in Cheyenne. Her love for Wyoming is contagious and I am grateful that I have come to know this amazing place.

    Thank you so much, WyomingPBS!! I have been to Wyoming twice, just travelling through. I took a bus across much of the state, after leaving the Black HIlls of South Dakota. It was magical seeing the pronghorn antelope running at dawn, Devil's Tower in the distance, and winding up at Yellowstone, at which I spent almost a week exploring every part of it that I could. I fell in love with the state itself, and vowed to one day return. I haven't yet done that, but it has been a "magnet for the soul" to see it yet one more time in this lifetime. I can't recommend enough to see it at least once in your life!! It is an incredible place:-)

    Hi Wyoming from Mount Martha in Victoria, Australia. The amazing CZcams algorithm brought this video to my attention, and , out of curiosity I thought I would have a quick look. An hour later and I am very grateful for the opportunity to learn a little about the history, geography and geology of this amazing place. Thank you Wyoming Public Broadcasting Service. Australia is quite a large continent, and my wife and I have just yesterday returned from a month's journey to Darwin in our Northern Territory. Our journey included a train trip of over 2797 km from Adelaide (1846 miles) and back again on the Ghan Train. That was 5594 km (3692 miles) Whilst we have some impressive mountain ranges, they are totally different from what I have just seen in Wyoming. Most of the countryside we travelled through was the endless desert of Central Australia, but the north also has beautiful, rugged and timeless wilderness (for example the Kakadu National Park covering almost 20,000 square kilometres or 7722 square miles) twice the size of Yellowstone National Park. I guess you could say that we also have an interesting rock (not igneous rock like your Devil's Tower, but a sandstone monolith that rises 863 metres, 2831 feet, above the surrounding desert known as Uluru) Your video has inspired me to follow up on the many aspects of Wyoming covered in this excellent presentation, as well as the fascinating history.

    My grandmother was born in denver but grew up in Wyoming. All her stories were about Casper and more specific the Becklinger building. Her father had a job as the custodian for the whole building during the depression. He was a drunk and her older sister was basically nuts. So she, grandma katie, would clean the whole building at night while her dad drank away his pay. She said the ladies that worked in the offices were really sweet. After a few weeks they had figured out that more often than not Katie was cleaning the building. So they started leaving little paper bags and envelopes where she would find them and they had either candy or a coin. Those were the days when you could buy a bag of candy for 10 cents.
    By 1928 she met my grandfather and he was moving to Arizona to work at his sisters bar outside of Phoenix (north central and about Missouri st) she followed so only her brother stayed in Casper.

    Never hesitate to seek out the Native Tribes of the area to visit their various museums and grace their businesses. I found them so very hospitable and welcoming, as well as a store-house of local information and lore -- a priceless asset to both the photographer and serious explorer of History and Truth. They can point you to all of the best hidden treasures in an area and of course, they depend greatly upon your tourist dollars in exchange.
    Plus there is a genuine feeling that your exposing yourself to their History througth their eyes . . . in some way "blesses" them beyond just fiscal concerns. (though it does that also!)
    It's like you carry a piece of their History and experience with you for the rest of your days; provided you are humble enough to be open to such things. It's a really beautiful experience if you can allow it to happen. Respect the "First Nations" and it will reap dividends for you and your children.
    Kids with the proper parental incentive, are particularly engaged with the Historically accurate stories of the area. (Something they will likely not find in classic public education).
    I would highly recommend traveling in the early Autumn: before Yellowstone closes but when you still might be graced with an early snowfall in the Wind River Canyon. The early dusting of snow set against the still-flowing deep-azure river makes for a startling photographic composition.

    Was married in Sundance WY. My hubby wanted a Wyoming cowgirl. I was an Oregon cowgirl, but for a day I was a WY cowgirl. WY is very beautiful! !

    You never see a travel documentary made in the winter time, everything is always green and beautiful, not cold and bleak.

    I just want to say it doesn’t matter what State this Young Man picked its the fact he fell in love with the beauty around him, how it made him feel, and wanting to make it his home, that’s what is important to him. Wyoming is where he wants to be. I’m from Oregon and I think it’s the most beautifully place on Earth. I’ve been to other places that I fell in Love with Colorado with its rolling hills but my heart always went to Oregon. My Family came over on the last Wagon Train to Oregon and my Family helped settle the area where I live. Thank you Sir for wanting to live in the USA

    Skied in Jackson Hole & loved the scenery from the top of the slopes. Great ski resort with less traffic than Colorado.
    This video allowed me to know more from such a great State.
