By Day

During the day, speed across alpine meadows on a snowmobile, take a leisurely snowshoe trek on mountain trails, or try a bit of ice fishing with a local outfitter. Just outside of town, the majestic Bighorn Mountains offer endless snow adventures during the winter months.

Name your winter sport in Sheridan where the majestic Big Horn Mountains set the scene and offer a winter wonderland of trails and vast open meadows.

Here winter sports enthusiasts find an abundance of opportunities for invigorating outdoor recreation including boon docking, alpine and cross-country skiing, and snowboarding in an ideal mountain setting. It’s a beautiful place to enjoy snow sports and activities, as well as to revel in the magnificent scenery.

Sheridan, nestled in the foothills of the majestic Big Horn Mountains, is home base, while the Big Horns provide the winter wonderland!  Sled heads ride the range by snowmobile on 218 miles of Top 15 rated trails in the Big Horn Mountain Trail System.  Springtime provides excellent snow conditions with fresh powder, deep snow, warm days, and riding into April. The nearest trailhead is located just 15 miles south of Sheridan, with 100% “real” dry powdery snow. Cross-country trails are abundant in wide-open meadows and on telemark hillsides.

Deep snows, spectacular scenery and the vastness of the West are why people ride the Big Horns. Riding opportunities are both challenging and endless in these rugged and inviting mountains, offering some of the most enticing snowmobiling in the world. During the winter it’s easy to find fresh untracked powder and steep rolling hills to explore, with a diverse trail system that provides easy access.

Within nearly one million acres of national forest, the Big Horns also provide almost 50 miles of ungroomed trails, countless miles of cross-country exploring, and exciting off-trail opportunities. Limited commercial development keeps the crowds down both on and off the trails, while first-class lodging is available just a short drive away in Sheridan.  In the historic downtown, dining runs the gamut from down-home to gourmet, and specialty shopping ranges from antiques and cowboy memorabilia to intriguing boutiques and galleries.

For cross country enthusiasts, the area offers fantastic skiing with untouched powder.  Groomed and ungroomed trails criss-cross the Big Horns.  Here skiers may hit the trails and escape into the inviting quiet of the forest.

In addition, Sheridan and the Big Horn Mountains offer a bevy of outdoor recreation opportunities including ice-skating and snowshoeing. Children and adults both enjoy skating at Whitney Community Ice Rink. The area also offers other winter outdoor activities including ice fishing and wildlife viewing. Wildlife is as abundant as the snow, with large animals such as moose, elk, and deer viewed throughout the winter months.

While big cities are full of crowds, this holiday season escape to the tranquility and hospitality of the American West. Recently named a Distinctive Destination by the National Trust for Historic Preservation, Sheridan, Wyoming is rich in frontier heritage, American art, and seasonal adventure.

Holiday Spirit: Celebrate the season in true Cowboy style. From Thanksgiving to Christmas Eve, Sheridan is transformed during the Annual Christmas Stroll . Picture an old fashioned wagon with evergreen wrapped bows, jingling along Main Street; the store fronts and lamp posts twinkling under colorful lights. The sights and sounds of holidays passed will be on display from Trail End State Historic Park to the Bradford Brinton and even the WYO Theater.

Snow Play: Speed across alpine meadows on a snowmobile, take a leisurely snowshoe trek on mountain trails, or try a bit of icefishing with a local outfitter. Just outside of town the majestic Big Horn Mountains offer endless snow adventures during the winter months. Well over 300 miles of marked and groomed trails meet thousands of acres of powdery meadows, offering plenty of space to roam by ski or sled.

Warm Up: If a day in the snow sounds a bit chilly, take advantage of Sheridan’s art and cultural scene. Visit some of the sites in the Historic Main Street District such as the internationally famous Kings Museum and Saddlery where the artistry of Don King’s leather work and saddles is displayed. Not to be missed the Bradford Brinton Memorial and Museum displays frontier life from the 1920s and an extensive American art collection with artists ranging from Audubon to Remington.

This year leave the hustle and bustle of the city and travel to a less complicated time and place. The friendly folks of Sheridan look forward to sharing their holiday traditions.
