Imagine a place where mountains greet you from outside your bedroom window every morning and bid you goodnight as the sun paints the sky in the evenings. Imagine afternoons spent horseback riding across verdant fields, hiking over rolling hillsides, casting a line in a quiet river. Imagine weekends surrounded by nature high in the mountains, nothing but a backpack on your back and a tent over your head. Imagine nights laughing with friends over drinks at a pub in a cozy Old West downtown. It might sound too good to be true, but this is life in Sheridan, WY.
Find out what it’s really like to live here… and why it’s the perfect place for outdoor adventures, nature-lovers, and millennials, too.
Sheridan: #3 in Wyoming for Millennials
We’re not making it up: A recent study by Niche.com found Sheridan to be the #3 Best Place in Wyoming for Young Professionals (after Jackson and Laramie). The study compared numerous factors across many towns over the state. Here’s what made Sheridan most appealing to the younger population.
