Fall Colors with Steve Stanze

Saw a mama moose and two babies right off a trail in Vedauwoo and caught the beautiful scenery in the Snowy Range Mountains. –Steve Stanze, St. Louis *(Thanks, Steve!)*

EXPLORE WYOMING: Mountain View Hotel, Centennial
THE MOUNTAIN VIEW HOTEL CENTENNIAL, WYOMING 307.742.3588 www.themountainviewhotel.com On April 1, Levi & I were treated to a night at the Mountain View Hotel, a historic establishment in Centennial, just about 30 miles west of Laramie on US Highway 130.

Fine hospitality at the Mountain View Hotel isn’t a new phenomenon, but it is something Kat & Mike…

Bill Sniffin: My Wyoming

Northern California and parts of Oregon and Washington are burning up. This smoke is covering up towns all over Wyoming especially in the Big Horn Basin and Wind River Basin.
