Wyoming
Wyoming, known as the "Equality State" due to its historical significance in granting women the right to vote, is a state in the mountain region of the Western United States. It is the 10th largest by area but the least populous and the second least densely populated state in the country. Wyoming is bordered by Montana to the north and northwest, South Dakota and Nebraska to the east, Colorado to the south, Utah to the southwest, and Idaho to the west. The state is known for its wide-open spaces, rugged landscapes, and outdoor recreational opportunities, including hiking, skiing, and fishing. Its terrain comprises vast plains and the Rocky Mountains, which are home to the famous Yellowstone National Park and Grand Teton National Park. The state's economy is primarily driven by mineral extraction—oil, coal, and natural gas—tourism, and agriculture, particularly livestock and grain. Wyoming's culture is heavily influenced by its Western and Native American heritage, which is celebrated in events like Cheyenne Frontier Days, one of the largest rodeos in the world. The state's climate is generally semi-arid and continental, with colder winters and warmer summers, though temperatures can vary greatly due to its topography. Wyoming's capital and largest city is Cheyenne, located in the southeastern part of the state. Despite its small population, Wyoming's vast landscapes and natural beauty make it a unique and significant part of the American West.
