Cheyenne Frontier Days

A lot of people are on their way to Cheyenne - or maybe they are already here!  The Cheyenne Frontier Days have been going on yearly for 121 years!  The city is decked out in preparation for four parades, an air show, concerts every night as well as the largest outdoor rodeo in the world.  We toured the historic downtown area - imagine a four story parking garage that looks like the buildings nearby that were built between 1900 and 1920 - and the parking is free!  love when a city plans for tourism.  Here are some of my favorite things so far.




Did not know this was the 150th year for Cheyenne!


Union Pacific Train Depot built in 1889 and given to the city in the mid 1990s.  Now a museum.





Besides being the first state to allow women to vote, Wyoming also elected the first female governor in 1925.



Well preserved buildings from the early 1900s.



You can buy anything Western here.





 
Except we cannot buy these boots!
