There are literally millions of Americans who will be visiting Wyoming this summer seeking out those secret spots. I will be one of them.
This column is my annual “Wyoming Bucket List” of those places that I have always wanted to visit. Some of them were featured in my three- volume trilogy of coffee table books about Wyoming but many were not.
Either way, I am eager to go see them.
Now readers need to know that Wyoming is full of many of the most scenic places in the world, such as Yellowstone National Park, Teton National Park, Devils Tower National Monument, the Medicine Wheel, the Oregon Trail, the Red Desert, and the Wind River Indian Reservation.

GILLETTE, Wyo. (AP) - Some rock climbing routes on Devils Tower in northeastern Wyoming have been closed to protect nesting falcons.
