At his golden age, Cheyenne was a thriving capital that knew the good and opulence.With the arrival of the railway, the city has become a prime destination for travelers seeking civilization and elegance in a wild and sparsely populated West. The creation of an opera house has enabled the city to establish its reputation as a dynamic cultural center. But Cheyenne was also known for its luxury hotels, renowned restaurants, numerous theaters and, of course, its depravation sites, among other saloons and closes. The city's large fortunes, the city also developed around livestock farming. Then its economy suffered a loss of speed, with train passengers becoming rarer to completely disappear in the late twentieth century with the withdrawal of the Pacific Union. As for the good health of livestock farming, it has also been severely tested. Two consecutive years of snowstorms killed a large portion of the herds, depriving the city of its main economic resources.Today, there are still beautiful historical buildings in the streets of downtown, but Cheyenne seems to be more than the shadow of itself. If you talk with the premises, you will often hear about a crisis and depression. While the small capital of Wyoming does not have a crazy charm and is therefore not an essential destination in the region, it offers a unique experience to immerse itself in deep American culture. You will probably cross cowboys and visit buildings of another time that will bring you back to the westerns.In summer, don't miss the famous Cheyenne Frontier Days Rodeo Festival but think about taking it ahead of time and planning a cheap budget because the rates rise very fast during the period.
