hookups, none with electricity. The remaining sites are first-come, first-served. Located on
three lovely reservoirs, this park offers trout and kokanee salmon fishing as well as hiking
and biking trails in addition to camping and prime picnicking spots. Dogs are not permitted
off leash or in the water.
Another worthwhile camping spot, particularly for families with children, is the Terry
Bison Ranch Campground (51 E. I-25 Service Rd. E., 307/634-4171,
www.terrybisonranch.com ) , just seven miles south of Cheyenne. There is an abundance of
activities available, including horseback riding, fishing, train tours to see the ranch's popu-
lation of bison, ostriches, and even camels, and even bison hunts in winter. With a restaur-
ant on-site, the place is fully self-contained. Accommodations options include cabins ($90),
bunk rooms ($59), RV sites ($23-42), and tent sites ($19). Rates can go up significantly
during Frontier Days, especially for the cabins.
Other options right in Cheyenne are the nicely shaded A.B. Campground (1503 W. Col-
lege Dr., 307/634-7035, www.campcheyenne.com , tent and RV sites $25-45/night), which
offers nightly barbecues, and Cheyenne KOA (8800 Archer Frontage Rd., 307/638-8840,
www.koakampgrounds.com , tent and RV sites $28-55/night, cabins $70/night), which has
an outdoor swimming pool in summer.
FOOD
As Wyoming's largest city by far, Cheyenne has quite a few restaurants and no shortage
of chain establishments to choose from, and there are some wonderful gems worth seeking
out.
One of the best local spots for breakfast or lunch is Luxury Diner (1401 W. Lincolnway,
307/638-8971, 6am-4pm, $5-10), a tiny railroad-themed place announced by a “Wyoming
Motel” sign that is almost larger than the restaurant. The ambience is crowded but com-
pletely delightful, and the food explains the crowds; try the corned beef hash and eggs or the
Santa Fe breakfast burrito. The Bread Basket Bakery (1819 Maxwell Ave., 307/432-2525,
www.breadbasketbakery.com , 6am-6pm Mon.-Fri., 6am-4pm Sat., lunch $3.50-6) offers
wonderfully fresh pastries, breads, cakes, and other goodies along with a selection of sand-
wiches and soups. Another great spot for a quick bite, a cup of joe, or a delicious frappe
is Carol's Café (2800 W. Lincolnway, 307/775-8400, www.cheyenne.littleamerica.com ,
6am-4pm daily) in the Little America Hotel & Resort.
Located in the east wing of the historic Depot, Shadows Pub & Grill (115 W. 15th St.,
307/634-7625, www.shadowspubandgrill.com , 11am-11pm Mon.-Thurs., 11am-1am Fri.-
