All Wild & Western

Dine at the restaurant and drink at the bar inside of The Albany, Cheyenne’s popular family-owned nightlife venue. Once a hotel across from the Union Pacific train station, the Albany Building now houses the best place in the city to get a meal and a cold one. Sit down at one of the tables, hang out near the bar or make your way over to the billiards area.

Like trains? Then you’ll love the Big Boy Steam Engine in Holliday Park! This retired Old Number 4004, the world’s largest steam locomotive, used to harness the power of coal to pull a 3,600-ton train along the steep hills of Union Pacific railroad. Although you can no longer climb aboard, Big Boy remains an imposing sight and one of the city's best attractions.

Head out to the Curt Gowdy State Park, located in-between Cheyenne and Laramie, for a beautiful mountain retreat. Get back in harmony with Mother Nature in this 3,400-acre park and reservoir; this nature preserve is bounding with all sorts of plant and wildlife, as well as an “Epic” trail system, granite outcroppings (perfect for climbing), and aquatic and outdoor activities.
