Well, we were in for a surprise. Cheyenne is pretty small! After finding out there wasn't two days worth of activities, we changed our reservations and decided to get into Denver a day early.
But before leaving, we opted to learn a little about the city on a trolley tour. Turned out it was pretty interesting (but still small). Here are some pictures from the tour:
Whimsical sculpture make out of old parts
The Wrangler
Capitol building
Several of over 100 horse-drawn carriages at the Old West Museum
Lots of unique carriages, including a milk wagon.
The first RV aka Sheep Wagon.
Chuck wagon
A big annual event in Cheyenne is Frontier Days - rodeos, concerts, etc. Lots of fun!
Museum closed today.
The owner is willing to pay big $$ if someone will buy and move these old enlisted men's homes (to make room for hospital parking.)
Former governor's mansion
On cattlebarron's row/street, these houses were fancied up with the fish-scale shingles on the side of the house.
The more colors on the house the wealthier you were since it cost quite a bit to mix the pigments for the paint.
See the pencil tip?
After the tour, we hit the road and headed for for Denver. Nice to see blue skies and warm temperatures!
