Winter in Wyoming is more than just a few months out of the year. In fact, here, winter is more of a lifestyle. With cold temperatures dominating most of our months, we’ve all sort of learned to love it. While Americans living in other states daydream about their summer vacations, Wyomingites plan winter getaways. Read below to see some of our favorite cold weather destinations.
1. Old Corral Hotel and Steakhouse, Centennial
Centennial is the gateway to the Snowy Range, one of Wyoming's top winter destinations. Stay here and enjoy a truly Western stay and a hearty home cooked meal each night.
2. Saratoga Hot Springs Resort, Saratoga
Saratoga is a little resort town known for their hot springs and Hotel Wolf. Plan a trip here to enjoy a relaxing and therapeutic soak in the springs and then head across town to try one of the best prime ribs in the west.
3. Mountain Meadow Cabins
Mountain Meadow Cabins is a resort tucked into the Snowy Mountains. During the winter, they receive several feet of snow and provide a gateway to hundreds of miles of snowmobile trails. If you are looking for a rustic getaway where you can spend hours on a sled, Mountain Meadow is a dream come true.
4. Granite Hot Springs, Jackson
Jackson's Granite Hot Springs is tucked away in Bridger-Teton National Forest. You can only get there via cross country ski, snowmobile, or dog sled in the winter. However you get there, you'll love this hidden gem that's accessible for anyone staying in the Jackson area.
5. Sinks Canyon State Park, Lander
Sinks Canyon State Park is a top destination for outdoorsy Wyomingites all year long. In the winter, you can rent a heated Yurt and enjoy a snowy escape with a few days off the grid.
6. Hogadon Basin Ski Area, Casper
Hogadon Basin is one of Wyoming's most underrated Ski Areas. Stay in nearby Casper and then escape for a few day trips to test your skills on the hills.
7. Pinedale
Pinedale is one of the snowiest towns in the state. It sits at the foot of the Wind River Range, which is world renowned for having incredible snowmobile trails. In fact, the manufacturers of the country's favorite sleds all test their machines out here. Get out on the hill or go skating on Fremont Lake and enjoy a picturesque stay in the Winds.
8. Snow King Mountain Resort, Jackson
Whether you love it or hate it, you can't deny that Jackson is one of the top skiing destinations in the world. Skiing at Snow King or Jackson Hole Mountain Resort should be on every outdoorsman's bucket list. If you're looking for a real thrill, plan time to take a ride on the Cowboy Coaster mountain roller coaster, too. It's the most thrilling way to go dashing through the snow.
