WLM | explore A BIG WYOMING WELCOME I f you’ve driven along I-25 into Wyoming from Colorado, you’ve almost certainly seen the Southeast Wyoming Visitor Center. Located a few miles south of Cheyenne on the east side of I-25, the center combines a modern design with a nod to Wyoming’s outdoor elements. “The design intent respectfully speaks to the character of the state, while embracing a bold, energetic and optimistic vision of Wyoming. The building and site design fully encompass a sustainable design ethic in which the wind and solar energy systems are prominent features,” WY Tourism says. The site also includes remnants of the old Park-to-Park road, a well-loved byway that connected Mesa Verde National Park in southern Colorado to Yellowstone National Park. www.wyolifestyle.com 41
