When we think of great college ski towns, we don't think about Laramie.

But the Medicine Bow National Forest is a playground for outdoor lovers, it takes less than 30 minutes to reach some pristine backcountry skiing, and there’s Snowy Range Ski Area, just 32 miles from town.

Read more about this outdoor hotspot, in the comments.

Have you heard of the Cowboy Character Challenge?

Being a cowboy is about more than a hat and boots. It’s about respect, responsibility, and looking out for one another. When you explore the beautiful outdoors around Albany County (no matter the season), help keep Wyoming wild by recreating responsibly. From respecting wildlife and staying on designated trails to packing out what you pack in and knowing your limits, every action makes a difference.

Remember to protect our public lands, respect wildlife and fellow adventurers, and leave things better than you found them.

Ready to show your Cowboy Character? Take the pledge and commit to recreating responsibly in Wyoming’s great outdoors. Take the pledge at the link in our bio and show us what it means to live the Cowboy Code!

Tourism is about more than places to visit - it’s about the community that makes Albany County home. The lodging tax brings the two together.

Also known as “the tax you don’t pay”, the lodging tax fuels the community, making it welcoming and thriving for visitors and locals alike. From supporting local jobs to fueling businesses and generating tax revenue, tourism makes a meaningful difference right here at home. When visitors stay in Albany County, they help support a local economy that benefits everyone - just look at the impact!

Tourism is about more than a great place to visit - it’s an important part of what keeps Albany County thriving. And our residents see the impact! According to a 2026 resident sentiment survey:

- 88.9% of Albany County residents agree tourism is good for their local area, well above the national average of 64%.

Tourism’s impact reaches across our community:

- 78% agree tourism supports businesses outside the tourism industry, from local restaurants to shops and other small businesses.
- 82.3% agree tourism encourages local investment.
- 1,700 county jobs are supported by tourism spending.
- $211.6 million in direct travel spending fuels our local economy.
- 738,000 overnight visitors stayed in Albany County, averaging 2 nights.
- $13 million in sales tax was collected from travelers.

And there’s an impact beyond the visitor experience: without taxes generated by the travel industry, each Albany County household would have to pay an estimated $759 more in taxes to fund existing government services.

From local businesses and jobs to the roads, emergency services and public resources our community relies on, tourism helps make a difference right here at home.

Visitor funded. Locally loved. And making an impact across Albany County 🤠
