When the snow melts and the wildflowers bloom, Sheridan, Wyoming transforms into one of the most magical places in the West. Nestled at the foot of the Bighorn Mountains, our town comes alive in the summer—and if you’ve ever been here between June and August, you know exactly what I mean.
Whether you’re a longtime resident or thinking about making Sheridan your new home, summer is the perfect time to fall in love with everything this community has to offer.
1. Endless Outdoor Adventures
Sheridan County is a summer paradise for outdoor enthusiasts. Hike the trails of Tongue River Canyon, cast a line in Sibley Lake, or take a horseback ride through the Bighorn National Forest. There’s no shortage of fresh air, open space, and big skies.
If you’re into camping, boating, or just a good picnic with a view, the area has plenty of hidden gems where you can escape for the weekend—or even just an afternoon.
2. Community Events
Summer here isn’t just about the scenery—it’s about the people. Our calendar is packed with community events that bring everyone together:
- WYO Rodeo Week (July) – A Sheridan tradition that draws thousands with its parade, carnival, and world-class rodeo action.
- Third Thursday Street Festivals – Live music, local vendors, and food trucks on Main Street all summer long.
- Farmer’s Market at Grinnell Plaza – A perfect Saturday stop for fresh produce, crafts, and community spirit.

4. Simple Summer Joys
Sometimes it’s not the big adventures that make summer in Sheridan special—it’s the little things. Like grabbing a cone from Kendrick Park Ice Cream Stand, watching the sunset over the mountains, or strolling through Whitney Commons Park with a lemonade in hand.
