Shoshoni, Wyoming, is the gateway to Boysen State Park and the Wind River Canyon. Shoshoni hosts the Wyoming State Championship Old-time Fiddle Contest.

Boysen State Park is surrounded by the Wind River Indian Reservation. This was a pretty cool tunnel we were about to go through.

Here we are in downtown Thermopolis. It is a small, picturesque, Western town. It is renowned for being home to the World’s Largest Mineral Hot Springs. It is also home to the Wyoming Dinosaur Center and Dig Sites.

Look at that pouty boy!

Meeteetse is a place where wooden boardwalks, hitching rails and water troughs still line the streets.

We stopped for some old-fashioned chocolate.

The Old Trail Town collection in Cody consists of 26 buildings, which date from 1879 to 1901, one hundred horse-drawn vehicles, plus an extensive collection of Native American artifacts and memorabilia of the Wyoming frontier.

Here it is at its peak while we were there. An eruption can shoot 3,700–8,400 gallons of boiling water to a height of 106–184 feet lasting from 1 1/2 – 5 minutes. The average height of an eruption is 145 feet. The intervals range from 65–92 minutes with 91 minutes being the average

The colors were amazing

This is a deep pool of water and as you can see the yellow stone, matched my yellow shirt!

Read the antlers in the top center, "Jackson Hole, WY." There were four of these antler structures on each corner of the Jackson central park.

Have you ever seen anything like this in a hotel room? We figured it must get pretty windy in Rock Springs.
