Sunday, May 24th, is National Wyoming Day! 🤠 The Equality State became the 44th state in 1890 and is known for its rugged landscapes, energy production, wildlife, and its role in westward expansion. Wyoming is the 10th largest state in the nation by area, yet it has the smallest population, giving it some of the most wide-open spaces in America.

Wyoming is home to many of the nation’s “firsts.” Yellowstone National Park is the world’s first national park 🌋, and Devils Tower is America’s first national monument. Wyoming also elected the nation’s first female governor, Nellie Tayloe Ross, continuing the state’s long history of pioneering leadership.

Wildlife thrives across Wyoming’s open ranges. The state boasts the largest population of pronghorn antelope in North America 🦌 and serves as a haven for bison, grizzly bears, elk, and bald eagles. Wyoming even has more cattle than human residents 🐂.

The Cowboy State was the home base to Old West legends the Wild Bunch, notorious outlaws that included Harry Longabaugh who received his famous nickname, the Sundance Kid after being imprisoned in the town of Sundance for stealing horses.

Wyoming’s economy is built on energy, agriculture, mining, and tourism ⚙️. Oil, natural gas, coal, wind energy, and trona mining all play major roles in supporting infrastructure and industrial development across the region. Ranching and outdoor recreation continue to shape the state’s identity and economy.

Famous Wyomingites include author C.J. Box, painter Jackson Po***ck, and Old West legend Buffalo Bill Cody.

Idaho’s landscape is shaped by towering peaks, deep river canyons, volcanic terrain, and dense forests. The state is home to Hells Canyon, the deepest river gorge in North America 🌊, and Craters of the Moon National Monument, a massive volcanic landscape so otherworldly that NASA once used it to train Apollo astronauts 🌑.

Idaho is full of unique attractions and fun facts. While famously associated with potatoes 🥔, the state also produces trout, barley, sugar beets, and hops. The tiny town of Wallace proudly claims to be the “Center of the Universe,” while the city of Boise hosts one of the largest Basque communities in the United States. Idaho is also home to the famous dog Barkley, whose giant beagle likeness towers over Cottonwood as part of the Dog Bark Park Inn 🐶.

The state’s economy extends well beyond agriculture. Idaho supports major food processing, mining, timber, telecommunications, and technology industries ⚙️. Hydroelectric dams along the Snake River provide significant renewable energy, while semiconductor manufacturing and data infrastructure continue expanding across the state.

Famous Idahoans include actor Aaron Paul, author Ezra Pound, Olympic athletes Picabo Street and Kristin Armstrong🪂Idaho is also recognized as the “Birthplace of Television”.

May 10th is National Washington Day! 🌲 The Evergreen State became the 42nd state in 1889 and is known for its towering forests, rugged coastlines, volcanic peaks, and leadership in technology, aerospace, and energy.

Washington boasts a diverse geography. The state is home to active volcanoes like Mount Rainier and Mount St. Helens 🌋, the temperate rainforests of Olympic National Park, and more glaciers than any other state in the Lower 48. The San Juan Islands and Puget Sound help define one of the nation’s most scenic coastlines 🌊.

Washington is full of quirky attractions and unique claims to fame. Seattle is home to the famous Pike Place Fish Market, where you have to beware of airborne fish 🐟. Seattle also features the Fremont Troll, who lives under the Aurora Bridge. Other attractions include the world’s largest collection of totem poles in La Conner and Spokane’s Riverfront Park, home to one of the largest urban waterfalls in the country.

The state’s economy reaches far beyond coffee and tech. Washington is a national leader in hydroelectric power generation ⚡, with dams along the Columbia River supplying large portions of the Pacific Northwest with electricity. Aerospace manufacturing, telecommunications, shipping, agriculture, and advanced technology all play major roles in the state’s infrastructure and economic growth. Washington is also one of the nation’s top producers of apples, cherries, hops, and wine 🍎.

Famous Washingtonians include the original Batman, Adam West, Office alum Rainn Wilson, and the gone-too-soon music legends Jimi Hendrix and Kurt Cobain 🎸.

May 3rd, is National Montana Day! 🏔️ The Treasure State became the 41st state in 1889 and is known for its expansive landscapes, low population density, and strong ties to energy, agriculture, and natural resources.

Montana’s geography is defined by the Rocky Mountains, wide-open plains, and some of the most remote wilderness in the Lower 48. The state is home to Triple Divide Peak, where water flows to three different oceans, the Pacific, Atlantic (via the Gulf of Mexico), and Arctic 🌊. Montana also holds the record for the largest snowflake ever observed, measuring 15 inches wide in Fort Keogh in 1887 ❄️.

Montana is known for its wildlife and natural phenomena. It supports one of the largest migratory elk herds in North America 🦌 and contains portions of both Yellowstone and Glacier National Parks, two of the most visited and ecologically diverse areas in the country.

The state’s economy is built on a combination of traditional and emerging industries. Agriculture remains a cornerstone, with Montana ranking among the top producers of wheat and cattle 🚜. Energy production, including oil, natural gas, coal, and growing wind resources, plays a major role, supporting pipeline, processing, and power infrastructure across the region ⚙️.

Big Sky Country is known for its wide-open spaces and unique roadside stops. From scenic drives along Going-to-the-Sun Road to small-town museums and well-preserved ghost towns, the state offers both natural beauty and a look into the lives of 19th-century gold, copper, and silver miners.

Famous Montanans include Academy Award winners Gary Cooper and Lily Gladstone, Pearl Jam bassist Jeff Ament, and famed daredevil Evel Knievel, reflecting the state’s influences in cinema and popular culture 🎬📺.
