WY Walks with an Expert: Be a tourist in your own backyard

The University of Wyoming Extension’s WY Walks with an Expert program offers the opportunity to experience remarkable history, scientific wonders and hidden treasures. See below for the Bighorn Basin’s 2024 schedule and prepare to be a tourist in your own backyard.
The WY Walks with an Expert program promotes physical wellness, increased activity levels and community engagement. The walks are accessible to all at no charge.
Program benefits extend beyond physical activity. Participants report personal growth through educational experiences and enhanced community connections, which collectively contribute to the community’s overall vitality and well-being.
For history buffs, the adventures begin with a tour of Otto Franc’s historic Pitchfork Ranch near Meeteetse. Travel an hour outside Lovell for an outing to the Caroline Lockhart Ranch—a trailblazer from a century ago.
