LIVING IN CHEYENNE

The "Magic City of the Plains"

Cheyenne is the vibrant cultural center and capital city of Wyoming. With a population of 55,000, it's large enough to offer a wide range of enriching activities, yet small enough to avert big-city problems like high crime rates, traffic jams, and pollution.

In Cheyenne, you'll find everything you need plus much more: a rich cultural heritage and history, beautiful natural landscapes, plenty of sunshine, and of course, our wonderful western hospitality.

Wyoming has one of the lowest total individual tax burdens in the nation and no state income tax. It is an ideal place to raise a family because of its excellent schools, low cost of living, and great parks and recreational opportunities. In addition to that, the United States Health Service ranks the air and water of the state as among the purest in the country.

Furthermore, Cheyenne is neighbored to the south by the cultural and commercial heart of the Rockies: Denver, Colorado. Here you will find Broadway productions, gourmet dining, professional sporting, art and science museums, great shopping, and much more.

To the west, the majestic Rocky Mountains are only a one and a half hour drive from Cheyenne, offering unrivaled skiing and snowboarding, camping, hiking, fishing, and lodging. Even closer are the college towns of Laramie and Ft. Collins, offering college sports, cultural events and performances, shopping, and a wide variety of restaurants.
