Sheridan

Sheridan is a real-life painting. Sheridan, one of the Mountain West's best small towns, has an allure all its own, a place where a day trip quickly turns into a two-week stay. Sheridan has ten National Register of Historic Places sites, including some in its charming downtown, which is alive with local shops, stunning galleries, and delectable restaurants. Sheridan is in the heart of endless outdoor adventure for outdoor enthusiasts. The Tongue River Canyon is a popular tourist destination that is only 20 minutes from Sheridan. Visitors can expect to see iconic American wildlife such as black bears, moose, deer, elk, and dozens of bird species while exploring this breathtaking area.

Visit during the Eaton's Horse Drive, a must-see annual event in which hundreds of horses run through the heart of Sheridan to celebrate its rich western history. Sheridan has an abundance of big, bold vantage points. You can enjoy the Cloud Peak Wilderness by taking a leisurely hike to the high pass over Geneva Lake for spectacular mountain views, or you can race out of the high country at breakneck speed during the annual Bighorn Wild and Scenic Trail Run, one of the country's premier alpine races. Sheridan takes the outdoors seriously and enjoy sharing it with visitors. Meet a friendly face at the Forest Services Office before setting out to explore more than 160 kilometers of trails in both the Bighorn National Forest and the Cloud Peak Wilderness; the route to mountain-fringed Stull Lake is just one notable charmer.
