Wyomingites have a lot of state pride. You sort of have to love it out here to make it through the brutal winters, and the solitude is both a positive and a negative thing. With that being said, there are a lot of reasons to be proud of Wyoming – and many of them are easy to see!

1. We're a state of firsts!
K. Magaraci
First National Park, First National Forest, First National Monument... all from Wyoming. We were also the first state to allow women to vote, and elected the first all-female town council! You're welcome, America.
2. We're not tethered to technology.
K. Magaraci
We can function perfectly fine without cell phone service, because we're used to it. We also know how to get by without overpriced cable subscriptions and speedy internet. We spend most of our time living live without the pressures of social media.
3. We really know how to cook a steak.
K. Magaraci
You will find the best steaks in the entire world here in Wyoming. Don't believe me? Visit Svilar's in Hudson - enough said.
4. We're innovative.
K. Magaraci
Oh, that whole section of the state that's practially inhabitable because the ground will burn you to death? Build some boardwalks, charge 'em to see it.
