Laramie, WY

United States

Laramie sits at 7,220 feet in southeastern Wyoming, home to the University of Wyoming and a key stop on Interstate 80 between Cheyenne and Rawlins. The city connects north-south via US 287 to Fort Collins and serves cross-country travelers on the Denver-Salt Lake corridor. The distinctive 1896 Aven Nelson Building on campus looks like a medieval castle and houses the state's geology museum.
