When it comes to pretty places of worship, it's hard to top the chapels in Wyoming's national parks. Both Mammoth Chape in Yellowstone National Park and the Chapel of the Transfiguration in Grand Teton National Park are historic structures you're sure to fall in love with at first sight. Beyond the parks, many of our small towns and cities have chapels and churches that date back to the 1800s, and each one is worth a visit.
