the western United States, bordered by Montana to the north, South Dakota
and Nebraska to the east, Utah and Colorado to the south, and Idaho to the

country, covering an area of approximately 97,813 square miles(Map of the
State of Wyoming, USA, ). Wyoming's terrain is mostly characterized by
the ranges of the eastern Rocky Mountains, the Big Horn Mountains, the
Absaroka Range, the Wind River Range, and the Wyoming Basin(Physical map of
Wyoming, ). The state's mean elevation of 6,700 feet above sea level is
the highest of any state except Colorado(Wyoming, ). The physical map of
Wyoming shows major cities, terrain, national parks, rivers, and surrounding

Wyoming's western half is
covered mostly by the ranges and rangelands of the Rocky Mountains, while
the eastern half of the state is high-elevation prairie(Geography of
Wyoming, ). The state has six physiographic regions: the Black Hills;
the Great Plains; the Southern, Middle, and Northern Rocky Mountains; and
the Wyoming Basin(Wyoming, ). The state is home to several national
parks, including Yellowstone National Park, Grand Teton National Park, and
Devils Tower National Monument. These parks are known for their unique
geothermal features, wildlife, and stunning natural landscapes(Wyoming Maps

Because of its elevation,
Wyoming has a relatively cool climate, ranking 41st in the US with an annual
average temperature of 45.6°F(Wyoming Climate Atlas: Temperature, ).
Wyoming's climate is influenced by its interior location on the North
American landmass and by its high mean elevation(Wyoming - Rocky Mountains,
Continental Divide, Semi-arid, ). The state includes areas of arid
desert, semi-arid steppe, and alpine tundra(Wyoming Climate Atlas, ).
The climate in Wyoming is characterized by cold winters and mild summers,
with significant temperature variations between day and night(2016 Wyoming

unpredictable weather changes, including sudden snowstorms and
thunderstorms(Recent Climate Anomaly Maps and Tables, ). |

Plains cover the eastern portion of the state, while the Rocky Mountains
dominate the western region(Map of the State of Wyoming, USA, ). The
Intermontane Basins, located in the central part of Wyoming, feature a mix
of mountains, plateaus, and basins. Additionally, around 85% of Wyoming is
considered rangelands, making it an essential location for ranching and
farming activities. Understanding these regions' distinct features is
crucial for anyone looking to explore Wyoming's diverse landscapes.
Wyoming is home to several major cities and landmarks worth

located just south of Yellowstone, offers stunning mountain views and
opportunities for outdoor recreation, including hiking and skiing.
Bridger-Teton National Forest, located in western Wyoming, is a popular
