About Sheridan County, WY

Tonight, I'd like to showcase our beautiful area with a video "Landscapes and Lifestyles". In this video, you'll get a taste of what it's like to live in or near Sheridan, Wyoming. Maybe you already live here, or have visited for some reason (dude ranch vacation, business, etc.). Feel free to post your impressions and reflections of our area. The Sheridan Area has many wonderful things to see and do and we think the Sheridan Lifestyle is fairly unique, which is largely due to the culture that has been established over the past 150 years by the people who live here. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this video. Turn up the volume, relax and enjoy.

Named after Oliver Henry Wallop, the OH Ranch represents the very essence of Big Horn, WY. This gorgeous ranch borders the Canyon Ranch and sits along Trabing Creek at the foot of the Big Horn Mountains. Oliver Henry, AKA Noll Wallop, (written bout extensively in Where the Rivers Run North, by Sam Morton) was one of the great horsemen who helped shape the area into one of the greatest equestrian areas in the country. Not only is this an area ideally suited for raising excellent horses; it's a great area for sportsmen or anyone looking for a better quality of life. Take a look at the views (all photos from the OH Ranch).

The Big Horn Mountains host many incredible activities such as fishing, snowmobiling, hunting, hiking, camping, backpacking, horseback riding, pack trips,and running. Running? Yes running. For distance runners, the Big Horn Wild and Scenic Trail Run is a big time event in a beautiful setting. It is tough though, so you'd better be ready for the rugged terrain, the altitude and the distance while you admire the scenery. And since it starts the 20th of June, it can be hot, or cold (especially at 10,000'). It's not for the faint of heart, but for the adventurous runner, it's a great race.

While in the Sheridan area, stay awhile and check out some of the wonderful activities we have to offer. We have art, museums, dude ranches, rodeos, polo, golf, and many other fun activities for your summer vacation.

Soccer season is about to begin in the Cowboy State and the Sheridan Storm will have a number of really good teams competing. One of the really great venues for soccer, not only in Wyoming, but anywhere, is the Big Horn Events Center, which amazingly can simultaneously run 22 soccer games all at the same facility. This same facility is home to the Big Horn Polo Club, where polo is played all summer and many other activities. Take a look at Big Horn and Sheridan for a great early May trip to Wyoming, and then come back in the summer for a memorable summer vacation in one of the greatest places on earth.

The MARS® Big Horn Mountain Spring Cup is truly an amazing event.

The meadowlarks are singing and the sound of bulldozers and excavators fill the air. It is the sound of energy and wildlife at the base of the Bighorn Mountains. Many people want to keep the area unchanged. Many people want to take what is there and ship it to the surrounding area. The dirt covered trucks and the sound of equipment are music to my ears. It means that jobs are being created and we get to import less oil from Saudia Arabia. It means that we can carry guns in our trucks and have the opportunity to see large bull elk out our windows.

The sound of a meadowlark is prettier, but the sound of large trucks paves the way for America's freedom.
