This 37 feet tall rock formation was created by a hot spring which forced water to great heights for hundreds of years. Mineral deposits from the water flow formed the rock formation.

The North American F-86 Sabre (sometimes called the Sabrejet) was an American transonic jet fighter aircraft. A canonical example of post-war fighter design, the Sabre is best known for its Korean War role where it was pitted against the Soviet MiG-15 and obtained UN air superiority. Although developed in the late 1940s and outdated by the end of the 50's, the Sabre proved adaptable and continued as a front-line fighter in air forces until the last active front line examples were retired by the Bolivian Air Force in 1994.]]> North American F-86 Sabre

The antlers have been there since the early 1960s, and new arches are currently assembled to replace them. One of the originals now sits in a vacant lot on the way into town. Antlers, we are reminded several times, are hollow and fall off naturally from animals who grow new sets every year. This contrasts with horns, which are solid and have to be sawed off.]]> Antler Arch

The shrine is especially beautiful at night.The 5-story sculpture of "Our Lady of Peace" is the work of sculptor, Robert Fida.

This granite monolith is one of the more famous landmarks along the Oregon Trail and has served as a meeting place since the area was first inhabited.

Independence Rock is most famous for the names inscribed on its face: the names and dates of people who passed by this place in search of a new life in the frontier.

It was the names carved in stone here that caused Father Peter J. DeSmet to appropriately name this place “The Register of the Desert” in 1840.]]> Independence Rock Wyoming State Historical Site

Ames Brothers Pyramid

Oliver and Oakes Ames were 19th century industrialists (Oakes was known as the "King of Frauds") who, when they weren't producing shovels, were bribing Congress to finance the Union Pacific Railroad. The Railroad decided to show its appreciation by building a pyramid in their honor in 1882, out of native granite quarried from the site. Building a pyramid also kept Union Pacific Railroad workers busy, and it gave Union Pacific passengers something to look at in Wyoming.

The pyramid was designed by Henry Hobson Richardson, a big name in the 19th century. Giant portraits of the Ames Brothers, chiseled into opposite sides near the apex of the pyramid, were sculpted by August St. Gaudens, another favored fatcat who later designed the US $20 gold piece.

Time -- even railroad time -- humbles those who seek immortality. The Ames Brothers Pyramid was bypassed by the interstate, and the Union Pacific took away the tracks that ran nearby. Now range cattle use it as a backscratcher, and broken beer bottles show the respect with which Oliver and Oakes are held by modern-day fans of the Ames Brothers. ]]> Ames Brothers Pyramid

Wyoming State Capitol

From wyoshpo.state.wy.us:

The cornerstone of the Wyoming State Capitol was laid in Cheyenne on May 18, 1887. It was a proud day for the citizens of Wyoming Territory and the Cheyenne Democratic Leader commented upon what was "the occasion of the greatest military and civic demonstration ever witnessed in the history of the city." The building is a three and one-half story structure, about 300 feet long by 83 to 112 feet wide exclusive of approaches. The height of both the center and wings from ground to roof is about 60 feet, although the distance from the grade of the building to the top of the spire on the dome is 146 feet. The basic material used in construction of the first two courses or platform of the building is sandstone quarried at Fort Collins, Colorado, and the superstructure is of gray sandstone from quarries at Rawlins, Wyoming. The Wyoming Capitol has been, and still is, a dominant structure on the Cheyenne skyline, in addition to being historically one of the most important buildings in the State.]]> Wyoming State Capitol
