Sheridan has always been a cowboy town, but it is much more than that. Outdoor Life magazine selected it as #7 in its list of the Top 200 Towns for Sportsmen. The magazine cited the hunting bounty, the alpine lakes, picturesque trout streams and Tongue River Reservoir for fishing.

If golf is your game, then look no further. With four mountain-view championship courses, it's no wonder Sheridan is known as the Golf Capital of Wyoming. Start with The Powder Horn, a 27-hole course rated in GolfWeek's Top 100 in the Nation. Its natural beauty features the Mountain Nine Scottish links course, the Stag Nine western target golf and the Eagle Nine's surprising length and creative shot-making opportunities. This 18-hole, par 72 course dates to 1935 and offers golf and practice facilities for all levels of play.

Sheridan is located on I-90 midway between Yellowstone Park and Mt. Rushmore! Scenic By-way 14 meanders through the Big Horn Mountains just 25 miles from Sheridan. Vehicle turnouts allow travelers to relax, enjoy abundant wildlife and world-class views. The by-way beckons explorers into beautiful Shell Canyon with must-stops at the cascading falls and self-guided nature paths, enlivened by incredible views, and moose in the wild!
