Part overgrown cowtown, part state capital, Cheyenne is a small city but also Wyoming's largest, with about 64,000 residents. Located in the southeast corner of the state, it's a long drive from Yellowstone and Teton National Parks.
Most people only make the trip to Cheyenne during the city's most famous event, Frontier Days. This week in late July is packed with such events as the world's biggest outdoor rodeo, Native American dances, parades of old covered wagons, a western-art show and what has to be the biggest pancake breakfast in the country—more than 100,000 flapjacks are served free each year.
