Sheridan, WY Rocks in the Fall 
Celebrate a bit of the Old West in the heart of Wyoming’s cowboy country. In Sheridan where the Old West meets the New West, recreation opportunities abound and there’s not a better time to enjoy them than fall. Hang gliding is popular all summer and into late fall . . . when the weather and air drafts are just right, daredevils enjoy jumping into thin air off the face of the magnificent Big Horn Mountains. Spectators may watch and photograph hang gliders from across the nation as they soar above and beyond the Mountains at Sand Turn, west of Sheridan. The Hang Gliders Fly-In takes place September 2-4, and again over Memorial Day weekend in the Spring. For more inforation click here. Rock Climbing opportunities are stellar in this area as well with premier ops at Steamboat Rock on top of the Big Horn mountains and Tongue River Canyon, both a short drive from town. Join other outdoor aficionados to challenge yourself in new locations around Sheridan.
