Best college towns in America: Laramie, Wyoming (Home of University of Wyoming)

The former home of NFL star Josh Allen is well worth the time to visit despite being in the middle of Wyoming. The tailgate experience here is definitely unique. Some games come with a horse and buggy, people riding horses through the parking lot, and of course the marching band which goes to get the team from the hotel before the game. Everyone has to go through Tailgate Alley to get to the game, and if you’re lucky, you’ll get offered some of their best dishes before the game.

Laramie is home to the only university in Wyoming. That’s an interesting note and brings people from across the state to Laramie. There is a lot to do in Laramie compared to other parts of the state, and history buffs will love to hit the historic state prison. It was once home to Butch Cassidy, the famous western outlaw.

The fishing on Lake Hattie is great for beginners and experts, as the water level can bring some big fish out to eat. Go in the morning though because the notorious Laramie winds might be a problem otherwise.

Take a night to see the sunset at Vedauwoo, the park steeped with Native American tradition. Watching the sun go down through the rock formations is impossible to explain in print. It’s something people must see.
