Laramie, Wyoming, does not naturally spring to mind as a destination from Northern Colorado (no offence intended). The City of Laramie sits just north of I-80, 50 miles west of Cheyenne, and is perhaps fair to say more of a "Gas Stop" for visitors heading west to the Snowy Range Mountains or Yellowstone, East to Vedauwoo, Gurt Gowdy etc.
Laramie however, is home to a really interesting historic museum, the "
Wyoming Territorial Prison", well worth the small
$5 entrance fee. This historic prison was built in
1872, and operated for 30 years as Wyoming's only federal penitentiary, its most famous inmate was
"Butch Cassidy".
