The Best of Montana & Wyoming c544411 Ch01.qxd 4/9/04 8:45 AM Page 4 1 The Best of Montana & Wyoming A mix of the rugged Wild West, the even more rugged Rocky Mountains, and a few almost modern cities—or what we might call overgrown cow towns— make the states of Montana and Wyoming a delightful vacation spot. This is especially true for people who savor outdoor adventures, but it’s also the case for those looking to discover a part of the United States that many of us have seen only in the movies and on television (and that’s a rather distorted view). Here you’ll find some of the most breathtaking scenery in America; a vast array of wildlife that not only thinks it owns the place, but actually does; and even some first-class Western-style lodges, restaurants, and museums. Following are what we consider some of the best experiences in Montana and Wyoming, highlights to help you begin planning your trip. 1 The Best Vacation Experiences • Glacier National Park (MT): of wilderness, wildlife, and geo- The best vacation spot in Mon- thermal wonders.

  • Bighorn River Basin, Wyoming
    Environmental and Recreational Water Use Analysis for the Wind – Bighorn River Basin, Wyoming Wind – Bighorn River Basin Plan Update Prepared for: Wyoming Water Development Commission 6920 Yellowstone Rd Cheyenne, Wyoming 82009 Prepared by: Western EcoSystems Technology, Inc. 415 W. 17th St., Suite 200 Cheyenne, Wyoming 82001 September 7, 2017 Draft Pre-Decisional Document - Privileged and Confidential - Not For Distribution Wind – Bighorn River Basin Plan Update EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 2010, the Wyoming Water Development Commission (WWDC) requested a study to develop more robust and consistent methods for defining environmental and recreational (E&R) water uses for the River Basin Planning program. The study outlined that recreational and environmental uses needed to be identified and mapped, in a way that would assess their interactions with traditional water uses throughout the state of Wyoming. Harvey Economics completed the study in 2012, with a report and handbook being produced to identify a consistent viewpoint and accounting process for E&R water demands and to help guide river basin planning efforts in moving forward. The methods developed in the handbook were implemented on the Wind-Bighorn River Basin (Basin), and the results of the Basin plan update are provided in this report. In addition to the handbook guidelines, Western Ecosystems Technology, Inc. coordinated with the WWDC to further the analysis through the development of three models: 1) protection, 2) environmental, and 3) recreation. The Basin is located in central and northwestern Wyoming. Approximately 80% of Yellowstone National Park (YNP) is included in the Basin. Elevations in the Basin are variable as the Wind River and Bighorn Mountains funnel water from alpine areas to lower river corridors.

    COLORfUL PAST \iYOMIN6 Since the 16th Century, a number of governments have claimed parts of what is now the State of Wyoming. The following national flags have. flown STUDE~ GUIDE over the Wyoming Territory: France, ~ Great Britain, Mexico, Spain, Texas and the United States. Wyoming officially became the 44th U.S. state in 1890. 'The name Wyoming was adopted from two Algonquin Indian words meaning "at the big plains" or "large prairie place." Gold in California and the lure of rich land in Oregon brought increasing numbers of pioneer wagon trains rolling over the Oregon Trail through Wyoming. Soldiers came to protect the wagon trains from Indians, and they also established forts along the trails. The most important of the western military posts was Fort Laramie in southeastern Wyoming. Fort Laramie became a haven for gold seekers and weary emigrants. It was also an important station for the Pony Express and the Overland Stagecoaches, and it served as a vital military post in the wars with the Plains Indians. Chief Washakie (WASH-ah-key) became known as the Indian Chief that helps white men. He '" assisted the U.S. military in their campaigns > against the Sioux and Cheyenne tribes. i:<.> ~ Washakie was chief of the Eastern Shoshones '" 1ij for sixty years and is the only Native American 1i5 OJ to have a military fort named after him. Chief <= E Washakie signed the treaty that established the 0 ~ boundaries of what is now the Wind River Indian Reservation in Wyoming. A graveyard in the town of Fort Washakie houses a substantial granite memorial with an inscription that reads: "Always loyal to the government and his white brothers."
