Laramie: University Town Above the Snowy Range
Laramie sits on a 7,165-foot plateau between the Laramie Range and the Snowy Range in southeastern Wyoming. The town was laid out in 1868 along the Union Pacific tracks and served as a rough railroad terminus before a more stable economy took hold. The University of Wyoming opened here in 1887, three years before statehood, and remains the only four-year institution in the state. Enrollment hovers around 12,000 students, and the university drives a large share of the local economy.
War Memorial Stadium, home of the Wyoming Cowboys football team, sits at 7,220 feet above sea level, making it one of the highest-elevation stadiums in Division I athletics. The Arena-Auditorium houses men's and women's basketball. The university's American Heritage Center holds one of the largest non-federal archive collections in the western United States, including papers from the Teapot Dome scandal and Hollywood Western film records.
Albany County, of which Laramie is the seat, stretches from the Colorado border to the Medicine Bow National Forest. The Snowy Range west of town rises above 12,000 feet at Medicine Bow Peak and offers summer hiking and winter skiing at the Snowy Range Ski Area. Pole Mountain, between Laramie and Cheyenne on Interstate 80, is a federally managed recreation area used for hiking, mountain biking, and military training exercises tied to F.E. Warren.
