East of the Laramie city limits is a vast state park named after Curt Gowdy, a former Wyoming native, UW graduate and sportscaster for the Boston Red Sox. The park is especially notable for its varied landscape ranging from prairie to pink boulder hills to mountain forest. It also sports some of the most awesome twisted trees in the state. It's extremely popular with the locals for camping, four-wheeling, and hiking. On many days, you can see cattle roaming through the back stretches of the park.
Even though this is a space heavily used by humans, in a sense, this is the landscape that probably defines Laramie as a natural space. On my very last day in Laramie I took some pictures of the park's strange, ethereal beauty from the top of a ridge to give you a sample. I hope you enjoy it!
