Living in Wyoming, most of us know that fall is a revolving door of sunny days and snow storms. One day it is nice and pleasant, and the next you are shoveling snow off the sidewalk. Autumn itself is very short lived in the Cowboy State that is why you have to seize the opportunity when the weather is beautiful.

That's why we made this list of 5 Fun Things To Do Before Winter Takes Over. Winter is inevitable, but that doesn't mean we have to let it rule our lives. We will have to deal with it when it gets here, but for the moment it is nice sweater weather. So seize the day when it is pleasant and enjoy one of these activities.

    Wyoming is great because it is a small community, but still close enough to a large city. It's not like Alaska where you need an airplane to get to the grocery store. Why not take a trip to Denver. The big city could provide shops and restaurants that you can't find in Wyoming. Check out a game or concert. You can also drive in the bumper to bumper traffic, and remind yourself why you live in the Cowboy State.

  • Get Muddy
