Plan a worthy visit to one of Wyoming's best western towns, Sheridan. With dramatic mountain vistas, fabled western history, and the tranquility of wide-open spaces, you’ll get history with a view when you stay at top Sheridan hotels in town. Spend your days exploring the streets of this city, and see the top sights from downtown Main Street to the majestic Bighorn Mountains just a short car drive away. Sheridan offers all the modern amenities and attractions while retaining its old-west charm, including historical sites and exhibits in town that illustrate the American Indian Wars that occurred across the American Plains. Spend an afternoon imagining life as a cowboy, rancher, or pioneer along the Westward migration trails.

While touring the area from hotels in Sheridan, you can’t pass up the chance to visit the Bighorn National Forest. This stunning swath of over 1.1 million acres of U.S. National Forest is located in northern Wyoming and is one of the oldest government-protected forest lands in the country. The forest extends from the Montana border for 80 miles, snaking along the spine of the Bighorn Mountains, a jutting mountain range separated from the rest of the Rocky Mountains by Bighorn Basin. The forest got its namesake from the Bighorn River, which is mostly fed by streams consisting of snowmelt and rainfall. Make sure you have a good map, and remember to pack sunscreen and a great pair of hiking boots before setting out on your outdoor adventure in Bighorn.

Situated along the Big Goose Creek, Kendrick Park is known for its fun summer concerts, swimming pool, and its furry locals—the many buffalo and elk that call this park home. As a great play place for kids and a nice reprieve from the city bustle for adults, this park offers scenic views, ample shade, and a nice ice cream stand on-site during the summer months. Enjoy the creek views while lounging on a blanket under the sun and cool off in the creek, then enjoy a cone or two before heading back to the best Sheridan hotels.

Go back in time and take a fascinating tour of Trail End, also known as the John B. Kendrick Mansion, to discover the historic home of U.S. Senator John B. Kendrick. Not far from Sheridan hotels, this is a fun site to explore for an hour or two in town. When Kendrick commissioned the house in 1908, he was only beginning his political career and was most known as a successful cattleman until he became governor in 1914. Three years later, he became a senator and Trail End transitioned into his summer home.
