EXPERIENCE

Terry Bison Ranch is where the bison and camel play and seldom is heard a discouraging word. Take a train ride through the ranch where the bison come up to the train and eat out of your hands, you remain in the safety of the train. An amazing, once-in-a-lifetime experience. The Ranch includes the Senators Steakhouse with lots of space to dine and enjoy bison meat (optional).

While in Cheyenne you will want to spend some time downtown. There is great western shopping and eating. Cheyenne has various western and railroad museums and art galleries. The Wyoming State Capitol Building has just gone through a four-year restoration process and is now open for you to tour. Traversing the state is a relaxing endeavor with so few people. Come visit this cowboy playground.
