Beautiful park!!!! Lots of area to run with slides, and swings. Also, a beautiful walk area. There are also restrooms and a concession stand. When in season, it's right next to a splash pad type paddle pool. Definitely worth a spot in the area to get outside and let the family hang out for a little bit.

We were in Sheriden and wanted a place to walk our dog Nugget. We googled and came up with this park. A very nice park with a creek that runs through it.They also have some cool wood carvings done on old dead tree trunks.

Beautiful park with lots of activities for kids. It's got a splash pad and pool area, it's got traditional playground equipment, and it's got a creek to play in. Also there's an ice cream shop there! Totally recommended!!

Super relaxing park with a creek running thru. Awesome kids playground

Beautiful park with a river nearby and ice cream/ concession stand that is open late spring and summer with picnic tables with shade. It has a nice playground for kids and there is an area across from park where you can see bison.

Great park with plenty of parking, public restrooms, very clean and beautiful.

Sheridan is a small town with an amazing park! One of my favorite parks in the entire US. If you are passing by, take a break. Take time. Walk the park trail. Peaceful. Beautiful.

Great pack foe the whole family. My kids had a blast and the walking paths are very clean and even. Clean bathrooms and cool wildlife.

This building was amazing! The size, the woodwork, and the location and view were impressive. Walking in and around the house I couldn’t imagine the time and labor it took to create such an amazing place. And the fact that they almost tore it down in the 60’s. I highly recommend visiting.

Great place to go and see and learn about some history with the kids

Fun historical house to explore. Took a self guided tour and the informational signs were great!

I highly recommend this site for a visit! As a huge history buff, and teacher, it was the perfect mix of facts and fun. There was so much to look at and secret little nooks that say "open me". The reading was light, easy but so very informative. The check in lady was sweet and knew the history of the building and family well. So many things to take photos of and just absolutely gorgeous.

If you like turn of the century architecture then look no further. This 1900's home come with a rich history, a rags to riches story and will not disappoint. Even my four year old loved it.

Beautiful, historical mansion. Self-guided tour with plenty of descriptions. Well kept landscaping.

Great tour of the mansion that had state of the art comforts for the time period. Such as, electric lights, a intercom system, and the latest appliances for the period, also dumb-waiter and an elevator. Volunteers in early 1900 attire added to the experience. Fun time for all.

This was an amazing place. I'm so glad we stopped and took a look arround. I would go back again if I get the opportunity. The furnishings are original to the home and give it an authenticity that I've never seen before. The self guided tour was worth every penny!

Fantastic place!!! Don’t miss out on the saddle and rope shop through the alley and the Museum was incredible. If you’re a leather maker they have a lot of history there including Al and Ann Stohlmans tools and workbench and a lot of their original work. The saddle collection is incredible.

What a great place and quality merchandise. The staff was very friendly! They helped my wife size a hat she had purchased elsewhere and cleaned it up a bit. I purchased some fun items only found in western shops and a vest you would never see on the crazy 'left' coast. A concealed carry vest for my pistol that has a great western feel. We then went to their saddle museum which was a real look back into history. It was not only saddles, but all types of western gear - antique guns, wagons, clothes, etc. Well worth the time and it is free!

This museum of horse gear and the making of such is absolutely fantastic. You have to appreciate the talent, skill, and vision to design a saddle, bridle, breast plates, belts, etc. Brought back teenage memories of showing horses and the tooled saddle I owned. I do miss riding horses. I miss the smell of leather and saddle soap, the jingle of spurs, the creaking sound that leather makes when your in the saddle. Humm. This is what I'm talking about World Museum of Mining. King's Saddlery Museum doesn't even have world in the title and they have saddles from other parts of the Globe.

Not your usual stop or what you expected, but worth the time. The King family has been in business for many years. This family run shop has primarily horse or co boy related items, but they did have clothing, housewares and gifts available for all family members. There is an adjacent building behind that houses a cowboy museum which is a bonus for anyone visiting. The Don King Museum is worth your time if you are interested in cowboy, western art, leather art, saddles or any horse related.

This place is incredible, known for their ropes and saddles, there was so much more to see here. There’s a museum inside the store along with horse tack and souvenirs for everyone.

Interesting store and an amazing, must see museum. Expecting a small collection in the museum, we were awed by the number of saddles, including some very old ones, photos and other historic items.Be sure to look for the "The Gathering 1883" photograph which claims to include Wyatt Earp, Butch Cassidy, Doc Holiday, Teddy Roosevelt and others. Is it real or is it a hoax??We spent about 45 minutes in the museum but plan to return as there was just so much to see. Highly recommend if you are in the area. They do request a $2/pp donation which is a steal.

Iconic brand that has stayed true to their roots. Don’t miss the museum and there’s something for the cowboy in all of us at the Main Street location.

Very nice store with a wide range of stock from saddles and bridles to lariat. The museum is also very interesting and only 2 dollars to see.

Horse tack and custom made ropes and saddles. King's caps. Beautiful home decor. Jewelry cowboy hats. Store has all western things. The museum is a must see. If you're in Sheridan Wyoming highly recommend seeing the store. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff.

One of the best hotels! The rooms are very clean and well taken care of. You can tell the staff has paid attention to detail with little touches in the room most chain hotels lack. Each room is named after a person Buffalo Bill knew, a wonderful way to tie into the rich history.The staff was very kind and attentive and helped assist us in all of our needs.The rooms come with breakfast vouchers for a restaurant across the street. Such unique and delicious food!!The kids appreciated the experience of having real keys to open our room. It's rare to come across that these days!

This hotel has a lot of history. The staff are very nice and very welcoming. I think it should be noted here for people to know that there are no televisions or refrigerators in the rooms. While this didn’t bother us people should know this as it’s not on the website. Additionally, the restaurant and bar are not currently opened and we were told they would hopefully open by Labor Day. The rooms are comfortable and clean. They offer a nice continental breakfast.Hotel is in a good location where you can walk to many restaurants and bars.

Spectacular quaint historic hotel in the middle of the charming town of Sheridan WY!The service is impeccable!The food in the dining room is divine!The staff waits on you hand and foot!It is our new favorite place!Don’t waste a minute, book your stay at The Sheridan Inn!

5 stars, easy! This historic hotel is an absolute gem. Reasonable rates and an unbeatable complimentary breakfast. The bathroom with the claw foot tub was like something out of a 5-star spa. Had a wonderful soak. Each room is dedicated to a different historical figure in Buffalo Bill’s life, and we were impressed by the nuanced historical interpretation included in each room.

Absolutely gorgeous historic hotel! If you want to stay at a piece of frontier Wild West history- this is definitely the place. Rooms are unique and well appointed, hotel is immaculately clean, cozy, and front desk staff (Connie ☺️) were very welcoming! The rooms - Beds are insanely comfortable, the bathroom with walk- in tile shower -wow - a little coffee nook with seating area in our Roughriders room too! The hotel is conveniently located not far from Main Street Sheridan, you can walk or drive.Will definitely be returning next year, as a stop on our travels. What a Gem! A+++

My husband and I just went into the Sheridan Inn about 3pm today July 4, 2023. We were so impressed by the young man behind the counter. We were astonished at the amount of information he knew about the history of the building. I believe he said his name was Michael, thank you that was amazing and you are truly an asset to the sheridan Inn. He gave about a 25-30 minute tour and showed us the ground floor and the basem*nt art gallery. Unfortunately we couldn’t see the historic Buffalo Bill Bar because it was closed, but the young man said it should be open this fall.If you want a tour go ask for Michael!

Overall thoroughly enjoyed my stay at the Sheridan Inn. Within walking distance of some restaurants and breweries, the front desk was very kind and welcoming, and the room was neat. Very historic and a nice change from a traditional hotel, but still providing the modern amenities.

I loved the boutique feel. The rooms were all named after historical figures from the region. I had a king room on the end with a giant tub. No tv in the room made me happy as I never watch them anyways. Also lacking from the room was a fridge, and an iron, both of which I did miss. Bed was comfy with lots of pillows. Only complaint was that the bath water never got above warming. Never “hot” and I tried at all hours. Warmest was in the morning. In house dining and bar was nice, though on the expensive side.

Amazing stay at a historic hotel. Your afternoon person, Michael checked us in. Answered all of my questions about the history of the hotel. His enthusiasm is contagious. Also got an awesome dinner recommendation!I love the room and front door key.We will be coming back.

Amazingly interesting historic hotel with the vision of an icon of the old West who bridged the old West era to the modern era. The hotel is updated to current standards while keeping the historic vibe. This hotel uniquely represents the region of the country in which it's located. Nostalgia intertwined with a cultural icon. I like how the rooms are named after members of the cast of the wild West show. Most of the cast were as colorful individuals as Buffalo Bill and he corralled all that force of will. Incredible! It reminds me in many ways of the Saint James hotel in Cimarron, NM. Another historical hotel not to miss...

Possibly one of the nicest, and most well cared for hotels I have ever stayed in - and I’ve stayed in my share of 5-star brand name hotels. The Sheridan Inn is truly a national treasure, so cozy even in the midst of a blizzard.I was mildly perplexed by the “hand shower”, but not as difficult as I would’ve assumed. Maybe not ideal for a room with more then one or two people though…Connie was a phenomenal host, even offering a small tour, and historical tidbits. She was awesome!I do hope they reopen the bar/restaurant soon, as that would’ve made the stay even better!

I'm shocked this is only considered a 2-star hotel, as it is much nicer and better cared for than even some of the luxury hotels I've stayed in. We were traveling through when the highway was closed because of the snow storm, so we had to hunker down in Sheridan and I'm so glad we chose to stay here. The staff are all AMAZING! Truly such caring and welcoming people (shout out to Connie and Dan!) The hotel room was spotless and comfortable, and it was fun to learn about the history. Wi-Fi was good. Very dog friendly which was wonderful since we were traveling with our dog, Jackson, and had limited options available to us. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Dog owners beware:We didn’t end up staying.According to the website: “Pets accepted. $50.00 non-refundable pet deposit. $300.00 minimum cleaning fee charged if an unregistered pet is brought into room.”However, when the lady called to find out what time we were checking in she told us it was $100 $50 per dog. Which to us is 1000% insane. So I asked if we could cancel the reservation we had made that morning and she told me no because they require 24 hour notice. I used points to pay for the room because we stay in Best Westerns all the time & most only charge $20-$30 a night and most of the time it doesn’t matter if you have one or two dogs. So she told me I would have to contact Best Western customer service to get my points refunded. She didn’t cancel the reservation so a phone call that should have 5 mins turned into me being transferred 3 times to get my points refunded.We were very disappointed that we weren’t staying because it did look like a nice place.However, we don’t think it’s right to charge $100 for two dogs to stay in a room for at most 20 hours if everyone checked in at 3pm and checked out at 11am.

This historic hotel has done an amazing job preserving the days of the Wild West. This is a living history experience. You’ll also be within walking distance to all the shops, restaurants, and bars on historic Main Street. There was no TV in my room, and my shower consisted only of an old claw foot tub. Loved it!

I had a great stay, really made my week staying here for two nights. Lots of history in this inn. Great staff took my wife and I on an impromptu tour of the building. Explaining all kinds of interesting facts, updates, and lore. We will go out of our way to come back here. Thanks again for an awesome experience we won't soon forget.

My favorite brewery in Sheridan and every to say the Midwest. Their Bomber Mountain Amber Ale is a refreshing medium bodied beer with an incredible balance of flavors. The brewery sports plenty of relaxing seating both indoor and out and has great decor and friendly attitudes. A must experience destination.

What an amazing experience & wonderful hospitality during the Oktoberfest celebration! Thks to Tim, Doug, Jared, Will & the crew for a private tour of the brewery, lots of tasting samples & a super day of fun! This Rapid City crew will definitely make a return trip back!

Great place for beer had there brown and Amber in can but I had to come for true test. Was surprised that they had a couple seasonal dark beers the coco coa which it smells delicious but I'm not into nitro's but delicious anyways but what really impressed me was The Empress Wich is almost a 12% and the small on the nose you don't smell the alcohol and the taste is very pleasant and easy going love it's chocolate taste

Erika was our bartender the night we were out. She was very attentive, chatted with us when she had a free minute. The brewery's atmosphere was laid back, not over crowded and not too loud. I will definitely go back

If you're looking for a fantastic brewery experience in Sheridan, Wyoming, look no further than Black Tooth Brewery. My recent visit to this establishment left me thoroughly impressed, particularly with their Wagon Box beer, which was simply outstanding.The Wagon Box had the perfect balance of citrus and orange notes, creating a delicious and refreshing taste that left me wanting more. The beer was expertly brewed and expertly served, making for an unforgettable experience that I won't soon forget.My girlfriend had the Be My Buttercup beer, and she loved it just as much as I loved my Wagon Box. This beer had a unique peanut butter cup flavor that was both sweet and savory, making for a delicious and unique taste that she couldn't get enough of.In addition to the amazing beers on tap, Black Tooth Brewery also has a great atmosphere that's perfect for relaxing with friends or family. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, and they're always willing to help you find the perfect beer to suit your tastes.Overall, I would highly recommend Black Tooth Brewery to anyone looking for a great brewery experience in Sheridan, Wyoming. With its amazing selection of beers, friendly staff, and welcoming atmosphere, it's the perfect place to kick back, relax, and enjoy some of the best craft beers around.

Not often do I love all four beers I get from a beer flight, but Black Tooth is one of the few to earn this distinction from me. They do good work here.Space is big and open, but has brick walls, so it's a large space that also feels cozy.

I always enjoy visiting this brewery. Great beer, friendly staff and frequent events! What's not to love?

Hands down my favorite brewery in Sheridan! A must for anyone spending time in town! I do a lot of video editing remotely, so whenever I’m in town and need to finish up a project, I come hang out, grab a brew, and get the job done!

I drove through Bighorn National Forest from Dayton to Shell on US 14. The drive is amazing and there are many locations for hiking and camping. I definitely recommend stopping at the Sibley Lake picnic area, as well as the Shell Creek Rest Stop.

This is one out the best treasures in the world it's under looked by ago many people because Wyoming has its national park to but it really is si beautiful and has so many trails for so many different sports and the views and wild life are amazing

2013 Eastside 2nd St, Sheridan, WY 82801, USA

The tranquil town of Story is nestled in the mountain foothills between North and South Piney Creeks. The water in the creeks Is ideal for growing fish and fish eggs at Story Fish Hatchery. The facilities have improved drastically and approximate 1 hr tours are quite satisfying, even for those not intrigued by science or biology.STEM TIP: “Bumping” - in this case, being put into motion against a fixed object - is a technique used to sort out non-viable fertilized eggs. The human made conditions of the hatchery drastically improve the chances of the eggs hatching and the fish surviving compared to natural conditions. The agent at the facility who gave us the tour was great and highly knowledgeable - estimating that 30% of the eggs they see are non viable. Enjoy and respect the hatchery as we realize this is where the fish we enjoy catching in public ponds, lakes and water sheds come from!!

One of the buildings was closed so there wasn't a lot to see but the big lake trout really make a splash. I definity prefer the two fish hatcheries near ten sleep

One 6-year we had with us did not have a good time because there were "too many flies"

Brought young kids to walk around and look at everything on 8/26. I asked the one staff member working what she recommended we look and which buildings we could enter. Her answer both times was “go look at the map”. She was clearly annoyed we would dare to ask for any suggestions.

Excellent. On the original Bozeman trail. Watch out for rattle snakes!

A neat little monument that tells you the story about the Wagon Box fight that happened on August 2, 1867.

Awesome... This is with mild winter snows.

Worth the short trip off the freeway to this well done Indian war battle sight. It doesn't hurt that it's a beautiful setting up against the Bighorn mountains. Since there's very little development or encroachment you can really get a feel for the experience of both sides and how the conflict developed. Combine the stop with the related Ft Kearney historic sight just a few miles away.

The fort is an amazing piece of history. The museum manager was outstanding. He was friendly and very knowledgeable of the history surrounding the fort. Highly recommend watching the short 15 minute video he provides too. Aside from the fort itself a short car ride away are two other battle sites that Ft. Kearny soldiers fought at.

My husband and I came through here on our road trip from California to South Dakota to get my husbands tribal ID. It is truly a beautiful area to hang out and learn a few things.The Interpretive center is clean, organized and informative. Starr, the center manager is absolutely amazing. I couldn’t say enough good things about her alone. She was pleasant, kind, and beyond informative. She also pays a small tribute to indigenous people and acknowledges their relationship with the land that the fort was/is on. There is a short movie with the history of the fort to prepare you for the walk around what used to be the fort. The original fort was burned down, but the area still has so much to do and see. They have mapped out where the building were and have placed signs around the area so with. Little imagination you can put the puzzle pieces together.Great place to visit!

Great place between Buffalo and Sheridan to stop off for 30 to 60 minutes to absorb some Wyoming history. The 15 minute video is very informative. And the staff is anxious and able to answer any questions you may have. There is also I an excellent selection of books on sale if you want to take a deep dive into any aspect of the history of the Wild West.Walking the perimeter of the fort gives one a better understanding of the truly grand scale of this particular outpost versus most of the other much smaller forts established in the West.The Fetterman Monument is about 5 minutes drive from the fort and is worth taking a few minutes to visit after you have viewed and learned about the fort

While the fort is gone, they did a good job in marking where it was and lots of plaques and pictures to give you a good sense of what it looked like. What a great piece of history! Don't forget to visit the nearby Fetterman Massacre site.

You don't have to be a serious history buff to enjoy this site. Although there are few structures, most of the buildings identified/marked. Walking the fort grounds and taking time to read the signs about the various aspects to the layout is informative. Unfortunately this summer (2022) the Interpretive center is closed, which likely would have added more historical background. Our leashed dog walked the grounds with us.There is an entrance fee, although the two nearby battlefields are free.There is a small "shop" with books and items to buy.

There are actually three sites worth visiting and all three are within a mile or two of each other. I would suggest that you begin your visit at Fort Phil Kearny. While the fort was only staffed and in use for a few years it was an important site on the Bozeman Trail. I started my visit at the small gift shop and had the opportunity to talk with the gentleman who was staffing it. He was very friendly and very knowledgeable about the history of the area. His knowledge only enhanced my visit. The is nothing left of the original fort but as you walk the grounds you can get a true picture of the layout by reading the storyboards that are place throughout the site. While talking to the gentleman at the gift shop he also directed me to two other important historical sites. The first was the “Portugee” Phillips Monument near the entrance to the Fort. The Story of John “Portugee” Phillips is little known but an amazing one. He also told me a brief story about the Fetterman Massacre and gave me directions to the nearby Fetterman Monument. I would strongly suggest that you start Your visit t at Fort Phil Kearny before visiting the other two sites. My visit all three sites took me about an hour and a half. I now have a clearer picture of the history or the Bozeman Trail and what we know today as Red Clouds War.

Interesting, although disturbing, part of American history. The original site was burned to the ground but historians have done a nice job in identifying the layout of the fort which was only there for 2 years. The placement of Indians on horses on the top of the surrounding hill add authenticity to our experience. The film in the visitor's center was packed with info about the fort and related battles. The enthusiastic host provideeld many additional details although we found it difficult to break away from the conversation. Highly recommend a visit for anyone interested in the U.S. government / American Indian conflict during the 1800s. We also visited the nearby Federman battlesite and could envision the "sitting duck" travelers who were surrounded by rolling hills on both sides.

Went for a lovely walk along this section of the Clear Creek Trail System. It is an easy walk with a well maintained trail. No problems with our little chihuahua he was quite comfortable under foot. The parking area is gravel, and Pup poo bags are available by the entrance signage. There are no playgrounds in this area. Wonderful spot to walk under the lovely canopy of tree tops.

Love this trail, very thankful to have it!

We took a nice 2mile hike, but you can go for 15 miles. The creak is lovely, the trees give you shade and the birds sing you songs.

A beautiful trail to hike.

Weeds were five feet tall could hardly see the trail

Haven't been here since the 80's. Brought back memories. Beautiful, "New" road is a bit narrow, but decent.

Played this course on Fathers Day, this completed the lower 48 states on mine and my son’s bucket list. Staff is terrific. Everyone treated us as if we were exclusive members. My son forgot his range finder and they agreed to mail it to us in Texas. What service!!!! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

Beautiful views and a challenging course with elevation changes, narrow fairways and thick rough. The course was well maintained and the greens fast. The only real negative was...no beer cart!?

My favorite golf course in Wyoming! Challenging and fun with lots of wildlife and great views.

I work at a golf course, so I notice the little things. This is an awesome course! Clean tee boxes, well groomed fairways, excellent greens, grass driving range. The fourth hole, par three tee box is spectacular and very challenging. We’ll worth the time and money.

The restraunt CLUBHOUSE GRILL has the BEST FOOD in town. They serve breakfast, lunch & dinner.

Beautiful course with many challenging holes to keep you guessing. One of my favorite courses in Wyoming. Although you will find it is rather expensive to play here.

500 W Hart St, Buffalo, WY 82834, USA

One of the best small town museums of the west. Lots of beautiful displays. Great history on the Johnson County War. A definite stop for any tourists in Buffalo.

I was told by many people to make sure I went to this museum. It has a lot of good information and is fairly big but I found it to be pricey. I wish the exhibits felt less like an art gallery and more of an immersion into themes. Wyoming has so many wonderful museums and this was the most expensive offering the least new information to me on any particular subject.

Wonderful local museum. Staff very friendly and knowledgeable. Was perfect for all ages.

Nice locals museum. Learn about Bomber Mountain and Jim Gatchell and Johnson County War. Dinosaur casts, rocks and minerals.

Nice museum experience, exhibits focus on the local history, both past and fairly recent. Admission price was reasonable.

A great history education of the area with amazing history of photos. Takes a minimum of 2 hours to go through.

Interesting history that I was never taught in school. I grew up on the east coast *(so that's drilled into you at an early age)*. Nice museum with some touch exhibits for children.

Nice place to visit. It will give a better understanding of what was WY

The Jim Gatchell Museum brings to life many aspects of life in this scenic area that have been hotly contested. The museum has wonderful works of art, set in historical context, with compelling narratives.Some of my favorites:1. “She Who Saved Her Brother” bronze statue commemorating the astonishing bravery of a young Native American woman who road her horse into a battle (Rosebud Battlefield, Montana State Park), to save her brother whose horse had been shot from under him. That battle had more projectiles fired than any other engagement between Native Americans and the US military.2. The “Johnson County War” ended when the hired killers were released on their honor (never to be seen again). The infamous “honor bond” story has largely been ignored, but it is the inconvenient truth.3. The Jim Gatchell Museum brings together a host of historical collections for your enjoyment and inspiration. Behind the scenes, the Gatchell is knitting together the history of local people who shaped our communities through their actions. We are fortunate to have so many volunteers who dedicate their time!

Great History of the area. Remember no pictures in the Native American section. Sacred artifacts. Nice staff and gift store. Lots to learn and see.

100 Fort St, Buffalo, WY 82834, USA

Where do I begin? This hotel is my favorite of all time. The service, the variety of rooms with bios about the people for which they are named and interesting information about the antiques in them. There is a library and antique clothing and quilt display! Every detail is magnificent. On this last trip I had a very wonderful and effective massage by Sue, conveniently on location. And my skin was soft for days after from the bath salts!

We went in to look around the historic hotel. Staff was welcoming and polite. Wandered into the saloon and had lunch. It was beautiful and definitely interesting to see. We had the Bison Burger which was good but needed some spices. The bar keeper was very friendly and a good waitress. I would recommend taking brunch here when its not too busy.

This was by far one of the highlights of our trip driving across the United States! We stayed in the Teddy Roosevelt Suite where Teddy Roosevelt stayed when he was young that was super cool! They had live music their own Saloon gift shop cool stuff made by locals amazing food and is haunted. Has been in lots of magazines evidently can't say enough about this place and the price was so much better than any of the other in the area! Can't wait to go back again in the spring when they're having their Frontier Days!

You can't have history if you bulldoze it. Fortunately some people decided that should not happen to The Occidental, then spent the time and love to recreate it as a unique experience. It is really a living museum, with lots of old textiles and memorabilia to admire. The attached Saloon is unmissable, as is the breakfast at the next-door BusyBee Cafe. A charming hotel in a charming town. Both are well worth a visit.

Have spent many nights here over the years and still love it! Great service, and the location is perfect for strolling and shopping. The rooms are clean and lovely, but starting to look and feel a little worn, though. Chipping paint, worn furnishings (not just because they're vintage) and stained/damaged carpeting do need some attention. We will be back!

I have never stayed in the motel. I have visited the hotel bar more than a dozen times over the past 20 years.The food had always been good and the service has been great.I love that they have kept the place looking historic.When they have had entertainment it has been very good.Bonus.. got to see Walt Longmire last night!

What a great little adventure! Beautiful authentic old West hotel but with modern amenities. Stayed in the Hemingway room with a cute deck overlooking the river. Staff was excellent. Stayed to hear Mr Stewart sing in the car that evening while enjoying good food. A must if you are traveling through.

Me and my friend stayed in the prairie cowboy for a week while we were hunting, it was the best week of our lives. Vanessa in the saloon was great. We met many great people that I would call friends.Buffalo was definitely great to us. And if you want to see doors open and close by themselves or a pop can fly off the table stay after Thursday night.

We had a wonderful visit! The hotel was super cool, our room was amazing, and the staff was super friendly. We enjoyed the saloon with live music for dinner and the Busy Bee for breakfast. A perfect location for a perfect visit.

Second time visiting this gem and the experience did not disappoint. My friend and I were on our way from Des Moines, Iowa to Glacier National Park in Montana when we decided to use Buffalo Wyoming as a rest stop after 14 hours of driving. The hotel is connected to a saloon and a two restaurants on either end. We arrived early in the evening and as you enter the hotel, you can see and hear the history from the crackle coming from the wooden floors to the decor as shown in the picture.Our room was basically an apartment with two bedrooms and a master 🛁. And after a quick shower, our visit to the saloon was met with a live musical act. And this is on a Sunday by the way.All that at a price cheaper than at a holiday inn. If you're in the area, don't miss this place. On my last visit, I brought my teenage sons who explored the town and even went fly fishing at the locale lake.

Cool historic place to stay. Comfortable lobby with multiple seating arrangements. Rooms were clean and quiet. Parking is on the street. Walking to saloon, food, shopping from here. Saloon has a few bullet holes inside at the register, ceiling, and back wall from times past. Was definitely worth the stay.

Loved my stay here! Beautiful historic room with a large bathroom, very friendly service and a nice view of main street at a fair price. Walking distance to pretty much anything right in town. Very short, easy drive to Buffalo Bill Center. Nice restaurant too! Service was a bit slow in the restaurant, but I wasn't in a hurry and it was the off season still, so not as many employees. They were working as fast so they could though- and doing it with a smile!

Stayed here about a week ago - can't wait to stay again. The hotel is restored beautifully, it's like being able to spend the night in a museum with comfortable beds (and tv's). Stayed here with the parents (in their 70's) - they were also very comfortable and enjoyed their stay. We stayed on second floor, if you are not able to climb stairs with luggage, there are main level rooms as well. Employees helped us make sure the parents had a walkin shower, we had a beautiful clawfoot tub. Everyone was extremely kind and helpful. Dinner at adjoining saloon was terrific too!

This was our second time staying with you and it was as fantastic as the first time,we went to the live music both nights and our server Shana was FANTASTIC we hope she'll be there next year when we come back! She was sooo much fun!! Keep up the good work Shana! Miss you already!You made our stay even more enjoyable!!!!

My wife and I had stayed here a few years back and enjoyed it. This year, while traveling home from California, we decided to drive through Wyoming to visit here. My wife called a few days out when we knew when we would arrive and made a reservation. She clearly said the day and date and gave all our info. I later received a confirmation email but felt no reason to review it in depth. After driving around an extra thousand miles to stay here, when we went to check in, they said they did not have a reservation for us. I opened the email and showed it to her, and she said it's for next week. I looked, and sure enough, they had the wrong date. She acted like it was our fault, but my wife clearly said what day when she made the reservation. We could have gone elsewhere and not even driven so far out of the way had we known we wouldn't stay here. She offered to put us in a cabin around a mile away, which we passed when leaving, and they looked small and not very nice. We opted to head out and decided we would never return after they messed it up so badly and tried to blame us for it.

Really informational and unique small factory of wool, showing you all the process from raw wool until apparel, in video, short description signs and self-explanatory observation from the decks of the working people. This is a good place to visit from kids to adults, to learn more about how this lifelong product arrives from the lands to our shops in the cities, explained in a pleasant and detailed manner. The entry is free and you can purchase some of the products fabricated in here, from garments to oils.

If you have not taken a tour of the mill, you need to. The staff is very knowledgable of the task they perform. It was amazing to see from the start to the finish of how the wool is spooled and ready to be made into something.

Very cute shop - but they have a big mission. From lamb to finished product, learn how wool is processed. They are helping the sheep ranchers and the sheep ranchers are helping them. Win-WIN!! You'll get a birdseye view of the machinery and information on how it all works!

This was a great place to visit! My husband and I dropped in for the self-guided tour. They have a video playing in a room dedicated to educating the public on the wool milling process. In this room, there are examples of raw wool from different breeds, weaving looms to try, carding equipment and plenty of other things to keep all wool enthusiasts interested.Outside of this room, you get a bird's-eye view of the facility with the ability to see the entire shop floor. Placards are placed around the railings where you can read about each step of the milling process.In the gift shop, there's a great variety of machine-knit items, yarn and related things (notions, bags, etc.) available . I bought a sweater's quantity of yarn, with assistance from the clerk in the gift shop. She was very knowledgeable and helpful. I would definitely come back to experience it again!

This was a great stop on our family road trip! Very interesting to see the process on the short self-guided tour. The kids loved meeting Yarnald the sheep and petting him. The building is just labeled "Wool Mill" and you need to drive around to the back side to enter the store.

Excellent tour! Very cool to see the process.Updated 8/26/2021: They've updated their tour, so now you can feel the different types of wool, see how wool is colored, and a bunch of other stuff!Also, more items in the store. Very Cool!

We stopped in for a tour of the mill while we were staying at the KOA campground in Buffalo. They had a nice room set up with a video about the story behind the mill and their day to day operations. They also had samples of different types of wool and what it looks like in the different stages it goes through. Our boys had fun running the wool through the little crank machine they had set up. We watched from the loft area as the wool was spun into yarn on their large machine. Our boys’ favorite part of the tour was meeting the super friendly resident sheep, Yarnold! Though we didn’t purchase anything, they have a nice little shop up front with tons of colors of yarn for sale, as well as several products made from the yarn as well. Definitely make time to stop here for a tour if you’re passing through the area!

My husband and I were traveling through Buffalo,Wyoming and saw this wool mill on Google maps so we stopped by and did the self guided tour. It was absolutely fascinating to learn about the wool from sheep to product. They have an awesome video to watch and hands on stages of the wool process upstairs. Also, from the upstairs you can see how the process is taking place.I'd love to take my grandkids here. Anyone traveling this way, it's definitely worth the stop for kids or "older kids" like my husband and me. Can't wait to make a beautiful hat with the yarn I purchased. Love that this is an all American process.

If you like yarn, stop in here. You get to see how yarn is made and then you can buy some lovely yarn for your projects.

I ordered a large pair of Mountain Merino Mittens to use as liners for my snowboard mitts which have a minimum of insulation. They appear to be well made however they are so thin that I know they will not withstand any temps much below 30 degrees f. for prolong periods. The cuffs are much thicker and I was expecting that thickness overall. Unfortunately I will have to return them.

Mountain Meadow Woolen mill was a great place to visit on our trip. It was off the beaten path and we almost missed it but I'm glad we persisted. I love to knit and was happy to find some beautiful yarn there. Even my husband found the tour interesting.

Just a heads up, there are no rocks inside the Rock Pile Museum. This is more of a Gillette historical museum. They have nice memorabilia and displays featuring residents that have served on the military, past and current sheriff's, coal mining, and a lot of historical saddles. While the name is a little misleading, it's definitely worth the visit to learn some local history.

Very cool museum with historical information of artifacts from the early 1800s up to the 1960s. Also some interesting dinosaur fossils and an entire caboose you can go inside. Worth a visit.

Wonderful museum on the history and geology of this area. Interactive displays brought many of the exhibits to life including short movies on mining.

Being a Correctional Officer in Colorado I had a real interest in the jailhouse glass display. Them handcuffs are intimidating takin Care of business old time restraints!! I really wish I could have handled them drop forged beauties.Use em on inmates today. The rockpile is the location of old. chaingangs to work breaking rocks down. Great history museum. I'd like to work here with jail/prison memorabilia and law enforcement history of the Gillette area.

Thoroughly enjoyed this little gem of a local museum. If you're in Gillette don't miss it. Free admission is offered to veterans!

Great museum with lots of local and western history.

This was out first visit here and I must say I was not expecting what we walked into. We assumed it was a Rock Museum based on the name. This museum has a bit of everything in it. A lot of history of Gillette and how things use to be. There is a small gift shop and some items throughout are "hands on". We really enjoyed walking through and getting a history lesson. Plus it's free.

Really neat museum with classic cars and a lot of great Americana memorabilia!The Open Mic Nights they put on are also really fun!!!

If you like looking at classic cars this is a fun stop if you find yourself in Gillette Wy looking for something to do. The museum is set to look like the hay days of the 40's-60's. It Also has a small gift shop and a few antiques. There is a small cafe as well. The people running the place were super nice and fun to talk to.

My recent visit to the Car Museum exceeded all expectations, earning a solid 5-star rating in every aspect.From the moment I stepped through the doors, I was greeted by a team of incredibly friendly staff who were not only knowledgeable about the exhibits but also eager to share their passion for cars. Their warm demeanor instantly set the tone for an enjoyable visit.The museum itself was impeccably organized, with each exhibit thoughtfully curated to showcase the evolution of automobiles throughout history. Whether you're a casual enthusiast or a die-hard car aficionado, there's something here for everyone to appreciate.But it wasn't just the impressive collection of cars that left a lasting impression. The on-site dining options truly elevated the overall experience. The food was nothing short of fantastic, with a diverse menu offering something to satisfy every palate. From gourmet burgers to artisanal sandwiches, each dish was expertly prepared and served with care.In addition to the excellent exhibits and delicious food, the museum also offered various amenities such as guided tours and interactive displays, further enhancing the overall experience.In conclusion, the Car Museum sets the standard for excellence in every aspect. With its friendly staff, organized exhibits, and fantastic food, it's a must-visit destination for car enthusiasts and casual visitors alike. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone looking for a memorable and enjoyable day out.

Absolutely amazing small museum! Not just for car people although there are some really amazing cars there they have probably 100,000 artifacts of some of the best of the very best. Gas pumps and globes signs tools a whole main Street with a barber shop and bicycle repairs etc etc one of a kind in the world highly recommend!!

Go check this place out! So well done! You could spend hours here looking at all the incredible memorabilia. Go!

I visited the new cafe inside the museum and it was really nice. Prices are reasonable, the food is good, friendly service and its a fun place to hang out whether you’re young or old. Set up really neat and comfortable inside. Italian sodas, coffees, malts and locally made bratwurst on the menu.

An amazing destination to visit for sure. You can see the passion in the collection and the originals are unreal. Crazy rare cars and trucks and setups. Awesome cafe too!

At first you might feel hesitant to enter. You pay either $10 or $12 to enter the museum from beyond the store where you first walk in. I'll be honest in saying I was hesitant to try it out, considering that two people would cost about $20. To go back in time down memory lane to see the antiquities was amazing. It wasn't, "Oh wow look a old car...", It was a moment you don't want to miss out!

This museum is a " blast to the past!" Collections of old cars and trucks, memorabilia to days of a more family oriented time and interesting facts of time gone by brought back many memories. Music from the 50s and sixties had me singing along. Old toys and antique bicycles dotted the museum along with an exhibit of medications of that time period. There was a gift shop and soda fountain where you could purchase a cold drink. The museum is a must see when visiting the area.

A must see if you are traveling through Wyoming! So many awesome exhibits and classic cars. The antique gift shop is great and they are also an authorized Pendleton dealer! They are also opening a diner with a coffee shop, gourmet brats, grilled cheeses, homemade ice cream, shakes and Italian sodas! Great family history and friendly staff.

A lot of fun to spend a couple hours wandering around this place so full of things from the past.

i’ll admit i am not a car person but this museum is really cool! the curation is absolutely amazing and the quality of everything, not just the cars but the vintage decor is stunning. i loved looking at all the neon signage and old school appliances. my dad is a huge car guy and he thought this place was incredible, it was a highlight of our trip for him 🥹. so if you have someone in your group who is a car aficionado and you just like looking at pretty things, this is worth the trip!!! much cooler than a lot of other car museums i have been too as they have incorporated a lot of other vintage items to create more intrigue than just looking at old cars .

This was my first time visiting and this place is amazing! A tiny real life diner, tons and TONS of things to look at. Each little room is its own little adventure. We only had about an hour to look around and it wasn't nearly enough! We'll definitely be going back and visiting again. Great for both kids and adults!

I don't get to have mead very often, since we don't have many meaderies back in Pittsburgh. During our trip out to Montana my wife saw a billboard for Big Lost, so we decided to stop. I'm glad we did! We enjoyed everything we tried and we bought a couple of bottles to take home.

Great service and selection of drinks. Beer Mead and wine. They will also make a mixed drink. Great decor and atmosphere. They allow 🐕 on the patio. Next door they serve burgers chicken or spuds.

love this place. great local mead!!! Yahoo!! I hear the ale is good too...dogs are welcome as well.great ambiance and knowledge with the staff

I'm on a motorcycle ride from Chicago to San Francisco. Ended up here by accident, at around 2pm. As far as places I've stopped along the way, this is tops. Got a bottle of mead for later, and had the honey soda with a chicken sandwich from next door.

Loved the banana mead (Island Gypsy). Enjoyed the great setting and the easy online ordering from the burger and chicken place next door. Great pairing!Big Lost is a great sponsor of the Gillette Wild, and we enjoyed our Saturday stopoff before the hockey game. Go Wild!

We went at the perfect time today, about 5:20pm, where there are a few groups in and a few outside. Right before it starts to pick up for Trivia Night and before the dinner rush. We had a Mead Flight of the four that are on tap and a pint of BL Peach Blonde and a BL Hefe since I prefer beer. Honey mead has a bite, a sweetness and is Very flavorful and not as heavy as wine or beer but high alcohol per volume. We liked the Wild Woman the best with the hibiscus so we bought a bottle. I'm glad there was a burger and salty fries next door. Plus Cornhole in the courtyard. I lost of course. Cheers and thanks Big Lost Meadery for a good time.

I called for information and was treated to a wonderful, fact-filled recitation of upcoming events and celebrations by a happy, welcoming voice that thanked me for calling, and wished me the best the season has to offer. Wonderful customer service!

Very friendly people, perfect location. Good info; not their fault there isn't so much to tell about Gillette. Definitely stop in.

Downtown Gillette is super cute! Angela was very nice and helpful as we stopped on our Wyoming roadtrip sticker tour!

Parked here to do the Eagle Butte Mine Tour. Visitors center had maps, stickers, and tourist info. Used Flying J restrooms before tour.

Jessica was extremely friendly and helpful. I highly recommend coming here for any maps and information on the state of Wyoming.

Disappointed they canceled a coal mine tour the morning of, even though the reservation was made over a month before. We are from out of state and adjusted our schedule to attend the Monday tour because the Friday tour we originally wanted didn't have a driver available. The morning of our tour, we were again told our tour was canceled due to not having a driver.

Awesome good times! My wife and I have done 2 different rooms w my son and a friend of his.Very challenging and fun fun fun!Rooms cycled frequently so there's always reason to return.Records are kept to up the stakes

Great time! Fun andchallenging! I had never done an escape room before and was hesitant when the kids wanted to drag me along..I am so glad I went! 307 was helpful when they needed to be and we all worked well as a team to solve the puzzle and find our way out! Everyone was able to participate and find clues! Can't wait to go again!

The most fun experience! We all had a blast and will definitely be going back soon.

Great escape room! Watch carefully for the turn as it kinda just looks like a parking lot. (No room on the big sign and the city won't let her put her own small sign) The kids and I did the escaped spider room and it was fun! Challenging, but we found it in time!

Lots to see for a small town museum!Staff were extremely friendly!

This museum is a real gem. It has many relevant artifacts, and the staff was very informative. The owners should be proud of what they have done here. This museum does not get the publicity it deserves. Easily could have spent a couple of days there just browsing, asking questions, learning. I will forever recommend it as a place to stop!

Great place! Super friendly lady! She was showing us some old timey toys that were recently donated and hadn't been set out for display yet. She made our kids feel so very welcome! Highly recommend. Many displays. Fun to see antiques and bits of history

Wife and I spent over an hour, and thoroughly enjoyed the experience, very good museum, knowledgeable people friendly would definitely recommend it to others

Was a great local and cowboy history that told the stories of many families and the various artifacts and tools needed for life. A very different way of life from our home in Minnesota. America is a great place because of the many people who came before us, their hardwork and an unwillingness to give up.

The staff is friendly and knowledgeable. The museum has many artifacts and history of the cattle industry.

Spent a quiet afternoon here looking at the numerous artifacts they have accumulated. Well written articles and descriptions provided a great bit of history!

They have so many interesting and unique artifacts and the staff is friendly and very knowledgeable. You can't beat the price, free!

Went to the Keyhole State Park in February and it was completely frozen over. Very cold and windy but still an interesting place to visit. Will check it out again in the summer.

We went to I think rocky point campground we were in the tent area. It was our first time camping we pitched the tent on a hill had rock's under us but it was beautiful. Only complaint is the sites are too close together other than that it was awesome kids had a blast.

Spent the weekend at Keyhole State Park and I highly recommend visiting if even for a day trip.The park has beautiful terrain which is more impressive as it is kept incredibly clean.Keyhole is large enough that even on a busy day it does not feel crowded. There is plenty of room to do any activity you're set out for.

Beach was small and there were lots of weeds in the sand. The kind of weeds that have hard branches that poke through your shoes. The views were beautiful at sunset. The beach was shallow which made swimming awesome! The park itself was weird because we had to take a gravel road for almost an hour to find the park. When we got there, they said you could only book a camp site over the phone or online. We use Roger's phone carrier as we are Canadian and there was no network at all. Eventually they let us book at the toll booth but it took a while to convince them. It was $33 USD to tent camp for one night with no hookups. They have no convenience store anywhere in the park. There is a restaurant at the marina but it was hard to find parking and you would have to walk through a bunch of private cabin trailers to get there. We skipped it. Campsite was quiet and not very occupied. Lots of stars. We stayed at the Homestead campground and there was a firepit, but nowhere to get wood that we were able to find. Cement picnic tables which were way more practical than traditional wood picnic tables.

Absolutely beautiful campground. We had a great spot with a gorgeous lake view. Very clean. Spacious spots. Quiet.We'll definitely be back!

Huge camping area from rustic to luxurious. Beautiful water view. Discounts for Wyoming residents. Restrooms are primitive and shower facilities are always from campsites.

The park was lovely but the bathrooms. Lawd. The flies. It was like something out of a horror movie.

Visit August 2021, Cabin 1: Beautiful campground with amazing views of the reservoir all around. Very quiet with minimal human or animal noises. It was a bit of a drive (too far to walk) to the showers but very clean and in the open. There was an outhouse nearby that we could use throughout the day.IMPORTANT NOTE: Showers were coin operated. Bring quarters or cash for exchange machine.We stayed in a cabin on the shoreline. Very peaceful and the perfect location to look out at the water or walk the shoreline. We swam at the beach for awhile and were the only people there. The sunsets from the beach were SPECTACULAR! We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this state park!Nearest gas station is a long drive away too. Come prepared with enough ice or build the drive to get ice into your itinerary.

The tower is awesome. We walked the loop around the tower. It was easy and we got to set it from every angle. The walking path was well laid out. The chemical toilet was overpowering. The visitors center was nice. You pay when you leave. Please note they do not accept cash.

This place is amazing and pictures can't do it justice. The sheer height of the tower is astounding. I recommend the hike to the base as it is paved and fairly easy.

Nice little visitor center. I loved the alien as you walk in. The staff is very knowledgeable and welcoming. There are several exhibits that are very educational. Small gift shop if you would like to purchase souvenirs. There is a great view of Devils tower from the parking lot. Very clean and plenty of parking

Devil's Tower seems almost other worldly when up close. Have not exoerienced anything like it really. Plenty of trails to explore around. There is a paved trail up to the base which is nice. Rock climbing is big here. The Red Bud trail is not paved and winds completely around the entire tower giving some very nice looks. The trail has some nice elevation changes and genrally not difficult for most hikers. It can get muddy at times. During peak season the park can get busy and there is only one entrance and one person working the admission. Lines can get long, so come early.

Always a thrill to visit Devils Tower National Monument and Visitor Center in NE Wyoming. The tower is considered sacred by Northern Plains Indians and indigenous people, was made famous as a set piece in Steven Spielberg's 1977 film 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind,' and was the first national monument established in the US in 1906 by President Theodore Roosevelt. Standing 867 feet from base to summit, the tower has hundreds of parallel cracks that make it one of the finest crack climbing areas in North America. If climbing isn't for you, there's a marvelous paved, 1.3-mile trail that starts across the parking area from the Visitor Center that leads you to a junction that you can take either way to walk around the base of the Tower. Friendly staff, views of the prairie floor, a wonderful campground, prairie dogs galore, and nearby services, all make for a magical visit. Check it out!

Pleasantly surprised!! When you see it from a distance, the monument t is so tall that trees around it seem insignificant. It appears as a solitary thing you are going to see... however, there is so much more to see and appreciate!! Wild life, hiking trails, transitioning terrain, the history... all engaging and worth experiencing!! ♡

The Devil’s Tower Visitor Center could have been a lot better if they honored the US Military by a typical discount that be a law for any place that is considered “National” Monument. We really enjoyed the walk around Devils Tour.

First visit and I found it to be worth the detour from my route. Devils Tower was much larger than it appears on TV or in photos. You can drive close to the tower without paying to go into the park but it may be the only visit I have to this site so I payed the $25 per car to drive in and get up close. Also you can go through the free visitors center with interpretive displays and a small gift shop. You can even stamp your passport with an official stamp. Free binoculars are in site to zoom in on the first National Monument. Look for the Buffalo and Longhorns in the field outside the park entrance.

A Great Wyoming National Monument. The walking Trails are wonderful and easy to access. Located close to the South Dakota badlands it is must place to see if you are in the area. Plenty of Park rangers available to answer your questions. This place is a Native American sacred grounds.

Great place to bring the family for a unique experience. You can walk the 1.3 mile trail at your own pace and see a lot of different views and wild life.There is camping available as well.

I have been to all 48 contiguous states and haven't seen anything like this tower. Very amazing.. Beautiful landscape. We saw people rock climbing but this requires special registration. Nice hiking trails. Restrooms are very clean!

Awesome attraction! It can be seen from miles away. A rock climbers paradise or as a tourist. Several nice trails to chose from. Moderate to strenuous . I took the Trail Loop which is a little over a mile and is paved. You will circle the base of the Tower and wasn't too much of a strenuous hike. There are several resting benches along the way. If you take your binoculars, you should be able to see people repelling down the side. Near the entry gate, there is a Prarie dog pasture just full of the the critters. The entry fee of $25 is paid when you leave. The NP Lifetime Pass is good here. I would recommend you arrive early and avoid the crowds. When I was leaving the park, around 12 pm there were cars lined up for approximately a mile get in.

Devils Tower National Monument is a beautiful location to visit in northeastern Wyoming. It was the first United States national monument. It was established on September 24, 1906, by President Theodore Roosevelt. In modern times it is best known for its appearance in the Steven Spielberg's 1977 movie, "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." It is the site chosen by the aliens to make their official contact with the earthlings and from which point Richard Dreyfuss departs with them to travel to the stars. The prairie dogs were amusing too!

This place is way better than I expected, why go visit a rock? Well I have lived only a few hours away my whole life and regret not going sooner. Fascinating and great for all ages. 77 years old all the way down to 2 years old were in our party with no issues.

Truly magnificent! This was more impressive than I originally thought. The park was great and there is an easy trail that takes about 45 minutes to walk around the entire monument. I was so happy we took the time to make the trip. The park had a convenient layout that was easy to get in and out of. There is beautiful scenery all around the site. Entrance fee is $25 for an auto but national parks passes are accepted. Highly recommended!

I really enjoyed my visit to Devils Tower. Simply put, this place is awesome! I enjoyed the Visitor Center and Museum, as well. The Tower Trail with all of the spectacular views of Devils Tower and the surrounding area was great! I went on a little of the Red Beds Trail. I liked that, as well, but I didn't have the time to complete it. Finally, I just want to add that I've been to many National Parks and Monuments, and I'd rank Devils Tower up with the best that I've ever seen!

Spectacular place to visit. You can see it from 13 miles away on a clear day. Trail was paved and a fairly simple hike. Watch out for rattlesnakes. We did come across one. I also managed to get stung by the many bees flying around too (we went in late July). The National Park Annual Pass gets you in here as well, which was an added bonus. Overall, this is a must-see if you are in the area. Heck, even if you aren't, take the time to drive here. It's totally worth it.

Devils Tower is rooted in man’s unconscious like a geographic archetype of summoning. People have skydived and landed in top, rock climbed to play the bagpipes, and untold thousands have photographed and observed in person. Wyoming is a world unto itself. Every place I’ve been to while traveling from Idaho to South Dakota has been noteworthy and memorable.

Easily accessible trail around the whole column, with benches and places to stop along the way. Spent an afternoon here and saw most of the park, keep an eye out for climbers!Must arrive early as the line during peak season is extremely long. Worth the wait to see up close but don't get caught arriving too late!

Devils Tower National Monument is an amazing site that requires at least one visit. The Tower Trail around the base is cool, but busy. For those who have more time we would recommend hiking the Red Beds Trail. This bizarre monolith of volcanism is truly incredible. This park is probably with a 1/2 day visit.

One of the best stops on our trip. Wasn't too busy when we were there. Bathrooms are at parking lot next to entrance building. Trail goes completely around the tower is definitely worth the walk. Trail is paved with benches along the path. You get to see it from all sides, and great long views of the area on the one side too.

This U.S. National Monument Park in Northeastern Wyoming is a must visit. This rare natural monolith is the largest of its kind in the world. This structure even from a distance is truly unbelievable and at first sight driving on the highway to the park it's breath taking awe inspiring you'll understand when it comes into your view. Definitely friends and family oriented and plenty of parking.An American the Beautiful pass is honored here.

The only reason I'm giving it a 4 star is the $25 entrance fee. Yes, it's good for 7 days, but this is not a place "most" would visit for 7 days. I think there should be a discounted ticket for those that visit for the standard few hours.They have a pretty good system in place to limit the number of vehicles allowed into the visitors' centre parking area. A traffic light along the road to control how many vehicles can enter after others leave. The lineup can be long, but we went later in the day and didn't have to wait long.That being said, it was awesome to finally see in person. Photos and Close Encounters of the 3rd Kind don't prepare you adequately. We only walked the easier shorter trail, but the views all around were amazing. There are lots of benches and viewpoints to rest at, but it's not a difficult walk.

Absolutely loved this national monument. After flying, the wife and I spent a couple hours here which totally helped unwind. I highly recommend the walk around the tower. It's not that far, and not that strenuous, and amazingly peaceful!! I also like that this park was not overly populated with visitors.

I absolutely loved Devil's Tower! You can see this for miles before you even get there and it only becomes larger and larger the closer you get. There is an easy, paved trail that encircles the monument offering views from all angles. The visitor's center is quite small as is the parking area, so I recommend arriving as early as possible.

This place is kind of majestic. Definitely a must see attraction if you're in the area. Walk the trail up to the lookout, you won't regret it. We arrived before they opened and the gate was open, in assuming allowing climbers in early cause we could see their lights on the side of the tower. Really neat formation!

You need to see the centerpiece of Close Encounters Of The Third Kind. Parts of this monument were in the film. This place is a must see. Hard to explain unless you see it. There is a walking path that goes around the base of the Monument. You won't see any space aliens here, or will you? :)

I wasn’t sure if we wanted to take the time to go to Devil’s Tower during our road trip, but I am glad we did. The size of Devil’s Tower is amazing! As you enter the park you drive around about half of it to get to the parking area. After you park there is a little trail area with restrooms, drinking fountains, etc. We saw some deer while we were there. I have read about the ability to do rock climbing, but we did not during this trip. I would highly recommend making this a stop on your trip.

Also called Bear Lodge. Absolutely incredible. Seeing it from a distance was just amazing and seeing it up close brings an entirely different dimension to it. We walked the trail around the base of it which gave great views of it and the boulder field. It’s such a unique feature, if you’re in the area you should go visit. Seeing the birds flying around it makes it seem so dynamic and alive. And there are animals living on the top!

Interesting butte surrounded by pleasant pastures. There's a gentle slope up to the base but expect to wait at the lights until spaces are available. You can easily save the bother of going in and snapping your pics at the many spots outside the park. Some could argue that you get a better perspective.

Nothing you have ever seen in pictures or on TV gives this place justice! The boys were able to climb way up to the base of the tower. And with a special permit, people are even able to climb the tower itself. I personally think they are crazy (saw a few climbing), but to each their own. There are two trails that go all the way around the base of the tower. We took the small trail, and it was relatively easy and absolutely stunning.

This place was great. It was in my bucket list and I couldn’t have been more pleased with my visit. The walking path was an enjoyable walk. It wasn’t too tough. My kids had no issue walking the whole trail. Great place for photos. There are a handful of over looks that give amazing views and great photo opportunities. People actually climb the mountain. We say a few climbers doing the deed. It was a site to see. I recommend if you have the chance and go see this places. I was lucky enough to catch a lightning strike on camera. This place was awesome.

This was such an unique experience to visit this massive rock butte formation. We were traveling through for and found it breath taking. They had plentiful parking and very clean restrooms. They area was heavy with tourists and we meet people from different parts of the country and abroad. The prairie dogs were so interesting to watch on the road into the tower

Waited out the fog and it was worth it! Pictures just don't do it justice. Don't think you can see enough from the parking lot!, walk the trail up to the base. It's only about 300 ft (100 m). Nicely paved and wide enough for a wheelchair! Nice little gift shop and informative displays. The building next door has restrooms. Both buildings were built in the 30's and still look amazing. P.s.- don't forget to stop at Prairie Dog Town on your way in ( large grassy field), those critters are just Too Cute!

Excellent place to find souvenirs, gifts, foods, drinks and beverages. Parking lot has a good amount of space. Just be aware that if the lot is full, the place will be shoulder to shoulder. It is a bit tight inside if there is over 10+ cars in the lot. The view is amazing from the location as well. The bathrooms are good if you need to use it. Not the cleanest but still good to use. The employees are nice. The store has many gifts to choose from. Overall, a nice place to buy Devil's Tower gifts.

Good view point from the back porch however this place is only open seasonally. It was closed when I went at the beginning of November. You can still go onto the back porch to take photos though.

Great service in the ice cream department. Fantastic view of the Devil's Tower from the back porch.

It's a cool store. They have a gift shop, small counter service ice cream and sandwich place and snacks. They also have some cool taxidermy including a huge rattlesnake probably 6' long. I shall name him "Tiny"

Super amazing monument. Get there early or else you're waiting in line to park. We got there about 11am, and had to wait about 45mins. Once you park, there are a few amazing hikes, beautiful views, and interesting history.

The store is pretty expensive, but considering that it is in a tourist location, it is expected. There is plenty of good stuff sold, and the employees are pretty nice.

Devils Tower is a magical place.1) Check the weather for optimum fun.2) Bring some good warn in hiking shoes, a large insulated cold water backpack and an easy carry snack.3) Don't forget a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen up to 45spf.4) Take the outer loop, a map, and a small compass.5) Last but not least.Take a camera to remember and share your own Beautiful story at the Tower and take out all that you carry in.Have fun and be safe.

Good, the usual T-shirts and keychains. The view from the parking lot was nice.

Great place to stop after the hike around Devils Tower: cold refreshments, nice souvenirs, friendly staff and nice photo opportunities.

We decided to make a small side trip to Devil's Tower from Deadwood. Instead of waiting for parking closer up we stopped here. What a great choice! Perfect views and photos ops out back. A wonderful selection of unique gifts and souvenirs. We grabbed some delicious ice cream and ate as we relaxed on the front porch. Later that evening we realized our son had misplaced his wallet. I called the next day and spoke with Tom, the general manager. He said he had it and I asked if he would just mail the money, using some to pay for the stamp. He said he would cover it, no problem. Well we got home to Iowa today and found his wallet and money in the mail!! He went above and beyond and we are SO thankful! Will definitely try and go back someday!

Stopped here on our way out of devil's tower. They had a great store with quality souvenirs and food.The staff was very friendly. The ice cream was great.If you're looking for a keepsake item, tshirt or something to mark your devil's tower trip I'd highly recommend this spot.And if you like fudge, OMG. It is amazing. 😍😍

Great dive bar! Seven of us rode in and planned on having a few co*cktails. We were greeted by a rude bartender when we asked for a seltzer. He told us "this is a real bar, we don't serve foo foo drinks. He told us to go to Amigos for all that stuff. I sure hope they're affiliated with Amigos because why would he tell us to go to another establishment.

Stopped in to eat but they didn’t serve food.

Fun place. Great food great peole

Recent renovations have made this one of the best bars in town - good food, cold drinks, good atmosphere :)

The food is just OK. Remys is definitely better.

Super place to stop for a vodka and a shake a day and beer with a schnapps and a vodka. I like cowboy bars and this is no exception. . . .. . . Don't look whats his name in the eyes.
