THE WILD FRONTIER TRAIL: A JOURNEY THROUGH WYOMING'S OUTLAW HISTORY
There's a wildness to Wyoming that never quite disappeared. The ghosts of outlaws, lawmen and restless cowboys still linger in the wind sweeping across the open plains. This is a land where Butch Cassidy planned his next heist, where Tom Horn faced justice and where cattle wars sparked gunfights that shaped the frontier. To travel through Wyoming is to follow the hoofprints of history, where adventure and danger once went hand in hand. Buckle up for a road trip that takes you deep into the heart of the Old West.
