Every state has its own weird attractions and Wyoming is no exception. Weird things tend to be very intriguing. Here are some of the weirdest places in Wyoming things that you need to check out if you want to get to know the stranger side of the Cowboy State.

1. Antler Arches, Jackson and Afton

It's not every day that you run into an arch made out of real elk antlers! This famous antler arch is one of the arches that welcome visitors to town square in Jackson. Just south of the Jackson Hole Valley, the elk antler arch in Afton is the largest in the world, and it's also worth a visit.
2. Tree In The Rock

This Limber Pine appears to be growing right out of the granite boulder! Nature is weird, and it's even weirder that someone found this and was able to have it preserved and marked for everyone to see. This interesting tree is located along Interstate 80 in Buford.
3. Big Boy Statue

This Big Boy Statue mysteriously appeared in this field out in the middle of nowhere in Wyoming - perhaps Dr. Evil is back? . You can see it along N. Fork Highway in Wapiti. He disappeared for a bit in the spring of 2020 and created a bit of a stir online, but he soon returned after a routine restoration effort.
4. Two-Headed Calf

You can see a two-headed calf at the Red Onion Museum which is located at 609 Pine Street in Upton. What an odd little fellow!
5. Safari Club Lounge

Hang out with the not-so-local trophies found at the Safari Club Lounge. These taxidermied animals came from Africa, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and Alaska. The lounge is in the Days Inn located in Thermopolis.

You have to check out at least one Jackalope while in Wyoming! This one is located at the Railroad Museum in Douglas, which is the town that originally gave birth to the legend and still offers jackalope hunting permits during Jackalope Season.
7. Two-Story Outhouse

This double outhouse is located at the Grand Encampment Museum. It's a quirky sight that deserves a double take!
8. Light Up Life-Size T-Rex

This 15' bronze T-Rex draws a lot of attraction outside the Tate Geological Museum. One side is skeletal, the other side is covered with skin, and the inside lights up with LED lights. This life-size dino is located on Josendal Road in Casper.
9. Giant Head Of Abraham Lincoln

Abe Lincoln is keeping an eye out for Wyoming. This giant head is located along I-80 in Laramie and is sort of an odd landmark, until you realize he's watching over the Lincoln Highway.
10. Buford

Be sure to visit the smallest town in America. Buford has a population of 1. Needless to say, there's not much to do.
11. Fossil Cabin

This unique building is made out of 5,796 dinosaur bones. It is located along the Old Lincoln Highway and U.S. Route 30 near Medicine Bow and is a mind-blowing sight to see!

What stereotypes are there about Wyoming?

When people think about Wyoming, images of the cowboys and the wild west come to mind! While there's certainly a lot of Cowboy History here in the state, we're also home to an impressive amount of preserved indigenous history, and it's so important to learn about those who were here long before Buffalo Bill rolled into town. Other stereotypes about Wyoming include that we're all carnivores (ok, mostly true) and that we spend so much time outside that we don't really pay attention to modern technology. While that's true in some regards, it's isn't a wasteland of landline phones and dial-up inter... wait, what were we talking about?

What are the best small towns in Wyoming?

Some of Wyoming's best small towns include Sundance, Saratoga, Thermopolis, and Lander. You'll find plenty to do in each town, from exploring museums and historic sites to getting out to enjoy the great outdoors. In Saratoga, be sure to stop by the Hobo Hot Springs. In Thermopolis, visit Hot Springs State Park for a fun day of hiking!

Where should I go to take photos of Wyoming?

If you love photography, Wyoming is paradise! Try your skills at photographing wildlife in Yellowstone, or landscapes in Grand Teton. Bighorn National Forest provides plenty of opportunities to capture photos of pristine wilderness, and the unique architecture of towns like Sheridan, Buffalo, Laramie, and Cheyenne make for wonderful pictures too!
