Wide open spaces, cowboys, and football . . . what more could you want from a college town? When visiting Laramie and the University of Wyoming, it's like stepping back into the old west (and that's not just because the school's mascot is Pistol Pete, who rides Cowboy Joe the horse). This eclectic town is full of Western lore, outdoor adventures, and old school charm. After watching the game, make sure to stop by Buckhorn Bar, which is from the 1890s and has a bullet hole in the backbar mirror from a 1971 shoot-out. Once you're done in town, escape to the great outdoors to explore Vedauwoo, which is known for its views, hiking trails, and wildlife.
