Central Wyoming Rodeo-Mutton Bustin'-Tuesday


The Central Wyoming Rodeo kicked off in Casper on Tuesday night and one of the more entertaining events is the Mutton Bustin’. The young boys and girls try and stay on those gnarly sheep for as long as they can which is easier said than done. It’s a crowd favorite every year at the CWFR and there’s a free pair of boots up for grabs.

Check out some awesome pics of these kids in the Mutton Bustin’ event as well as a short video. Enjoy!

Wyoming lawmakers urge Haaland to reverse coal limits

Wyoming lawmakers urge Haaland to reverse coal limits


The Wyoming congressional delegation on Tuesday urged Interior Secretary Deb Haaland to reverse a decision to block new leases in the nation’s most prolific coal basin.

The delegation — comprised of Republican Sens. John Barrasso and Cynthia Lummis and Rep. Harriet Hageman — said in a letter that the Interior Department’s move would “severely affect the people of Wyoming and the state’s economy,” while also putting “electric reliability across the country at risk.”

The department in May unveiled Bureau of Land Management plans that would overturn Trump-era decisions and effectively end new federal coal leases in the Powder River Basin in Montana and Wyoming.

The proposal would not end coal production in the basin because existing leases would be allowed to continue producing. Still, the move does reflect the Biden administration’s longstanding goal to wean the nation off coal.

Jackson Hole, Wyoming's Newest Hotel Is Adults-only — and It Has Some of the Best Views of the Teton Mountains

Jackson Hole, Wyoming's Newest Hotel Is Adults-only — and It Has Some of the Best Views of the Teton Mountains


Jackson Hole, Wyoming, has never been good at flying under the radar. It may be a small town in the least-populated state in the union, but it’s got a staggering landscape that’s lined with jagged, teeth-like mountains, a giant elk herd, and direct access to the wildlife and views of Grand Teton National Park.

Sitting at the foot of all the splendor is the new Hotel Yellowstone at Jackson Hole, a luxurious boutique property that was designed and constructed in secrecy. The project was shared exclusively with Travel + Leisure in advance of its Aug. 1 opening.

The hotel, which joins other luxurious Jackson Hole properties like Amangani, stands out for its views of the Teton Mountains, which are truly unobstructed. Hotel Yellowstone sits on a butte that overlooks the mountain range and each of the property’s 36 suites are privately situated in clusters across the four-acre property. The suites’ large windows provide views of the surrounding mountains — and in some cases, passing wildlife.

Hotel Yellowstone is also Jackson Hole’s first and only adults-only hotel.

“With a deep appreciation for Jackson Hole and the beauty the destination lends, we are thrilled to open this one-of-a-kind hotel tailored to showcasing Jackson Hole’s innate sense of refined elegance and natural appeal,” Jerry Johnson, owner of Hotel Yellowstone, in a press release shared with T+L. “Hotel Yellowstone was a labor of love, my team and I meticulously ideated, curated, and constructed the hotel to be the pinnacle of luxury. Now, we look forward to introducing Hotel Yellowstone to the world and providing our guests authentic, exclusive experiences coupled with a warm, dedicated staff and exceptional amenities.”

Each of the hotel’s suites offers 600 square feet of indoor and outdoor space, including a private balcony. In-room highlights include soaking tubs overlooking the Tetons, fireplaces, head-to-toe Calacatta marble bathrooms, and tailor-made furnishings.

In addition to large, luxurious rooms, guests of Hotel Yellowstone are treated to amenities like a heated indoor pool with retractable windows and an intimate spa that boasts both red light and cold plunge therapy. The on-site restaurant and bar, named Olivia’s, features organic, locally sourced ingredients and destination-inspired cocktails.

While tranquility is one of Hotel Yellowstone’s biggest selling points, it is surprisingly easy to reach downtown Jackson and the historic Jackson Town Square (10 minutes by car), the National Elk Refuge (15 minutes), and Grand Teton National Park (20 minutes). Yellowstone National Park is less than 1.5 hours from the property.

The first guests at Hotel Yellowstone will be treated to a private tour of Yellowstone National Park with a local tour operator that includes breakfast, and a charcuterie and wine lunch on the banks of the Firehole River.
