Sheridan Holidays

WHY VISIT SHERIDAN, WYOMING?

Wildlife on the Plains

Sheridan’s position between prairie and mountain makes it a natural habitat for a wide variety of wildlife. Out on the grasslands you might spot herds of pronghorn antelope, mule deer or even golden eagles soaring above the open skies. In the nearby Bighorn Mountains, moose, elk and black bear roam freely, offering remarkable opportunities for wildlife enthusiasts to experience Wyoming’s wilder side. Whether you’re exploring on foot, by horseback or with a local guide, the region’s diverse habitats provide memorable encounters with nature.

Mountain Scenery

The Bighorn Mountains rise dramatically above Sheridan, creating a stunning backdrop to daily life in town. Scenic drives into the mountains reveal alpine meadows, clear lakes and tumbling waterfalls, while hiking trails wind through forests scented with pine. In autumn, the landscape glows with golden aspens, and in winter the mountains transform into a snow-covered wonderland. Combined with the vast prairies stretching out to the east, Sheridan offers some of Wyoming’s most striking contrasts in scenery.

Soft Adventures

Sheridan is an ideal base for easygoing outdoor adventures. Horseback riding across ranchlands provides an authentic taste of cowboy life, while anglers will find the Bighorn Mountains laced with trout-rich streams and rivers. Hiking trails suit all levels, from gentle rambles to more challenging climbs, and mountain biking is growing in popularity across the region. Come winter, the mountains open up to snowshoeing and cross-country skiing, creating year-round opportunities to explore the great outdoors.
