Escort Alligator in Cheyenne, WY

About Cheyenne

Cheyenne grew up as a Union Pacific railroad town and still feels like a crossroads, where I-25 and I-80 bring through-traffic from every direction. The city's classifieds mix ranch tack, horse trailers and work trucks with household goods from military families at F.E. Warren Air Force Base. Relentless wind is a defining feature, and locals plan around it.

Neighborhoods and areas

• Downtown: Historic brick buildings around the restored Union Pacific depot hold shops, restaurants and a few loft apartments.
• Rainsford Historic District: Large homes built by 19th-century cattle barons sit just east of downtown.
• Lions Park area: A neighborhood around a large park with Sloans Lake and the Cheyenne Botanic Gardens.
• Dell Range Boulevard: The north side's main shopping corridor, surrounded by newer subdivisions.
• South Cheyenne: Working-class neighborhoods with older homes and wide lots, popular with buyers needing room for trailers and tools.

Food, music and evenings

Downtown saloons and steakhouses keep the city's Old West identity alive, and Frontier Days brings concerts and parades every summer. Craft breweries and casual eateries have joined the scene, offering a relaxed evening out.

Getting around for pickups

The Cheyenne Transit Program runs local bus routes, but most residents drive. I-25 and I-80 meet on the edge of the city, and winter storms sometimes close I-80 to the west, cutting off Laramie trips.

Local buying and selling tips

• Gusty winds can rip unsecured items out of a truck bed, so bring ratchet straps and a tarp for every pickup.
• Check the Wyoming Department of Transportation road reports before a winter drive to Laramie or Fort Collins.
• Military families at F.E. Warren often sell furniture, appliances and vehicles before moving; summer brings the most listings.
• During Frontier Days, roads near the rodeo grounds become crowded, so meet in other parts of the city.
