Wyoming is kinda the Outback of the 48 states: big, wild, wide open country where the High Plains meet the Rocky Mountains. The northwest corner of Wyoming has big pockets of geothermal energy available (Thermopolis, Yellowstone, etc.) while east of the mountains is big cattle ranching country. Wyoming is the tenth largest state in land area, and almost the least populous. Go for a hike in the wilderness areas around Yellowstone and you'll see why that whole end of the state is unpopulated. Go for a drive in the Great Basin area in the middle of the state and you'll quickly see why no one lives there either. If it wasn't for coal, oil and natural gas, fully half the population of Wyoming wouldn't live here. But it sure is beautiful, even when it's all covered with snow... |
