"at the big plains"

Wyoming , the name comes from the Delaware Indian term "Mecheweami-ing" meaning "at the big plains" or "on the great plain". This state has everything: mountains, canyons, plains, desert. Driving from Yellowstone National Park in the north west, south to Teton N.P.and Jackson and then via Dubois the Wind River Reservation, Lander and Saratoga to the souther border with Colorado you see many different sceneries. Take your time and look around, don't hurry.

Travel and tourism in Wyoming

A Prairie Sunset
By Walt Whitman
(1819-1892)

Shot gold, maroon and violet, dazzling silver, emerald, fawn,
The earth's whole amplitude and Nature's multiform power consign'd
for once to colors;
The light, the general air possess'd by them--colors till now unknown,
No limit, confine--not the Western sky alone--the high meridian--
North, South, all,
Pure luminous color fighting the silent shadows to the last.
