A center exit from the Interstate and there really isn't much here except, yes, there is a tree…read moregrowing out of the rock. There really aren't many trees in southeastern Wyoming so this one is really interesting. "Discovered" by the Union Pacific rail workers when the tracks were laid through here in 1867, they actually moved the line sideways to avoid it. The railroad was eventually moved south, and the old road bed past Tree in the Rock was used as a wagon trail, then as the Lincoln Highway, and now as Interstate 80. The freeway splits around the tree, which has its own little parking area in the median and a spiky fence to protect it. It's called simply "Tree Rock" by its unromantic modern sign, which notes that "Limber Pines can live as long as 2000 years." It's a quick stop that will take you less than five minutes to explore. For that, it's worth it to see how "Nature finds a way." [Review 17823 overall - 37 in Wyoming - 1344 of 2022.]

This 2026 trip we were able to visit the inside. We saw both legislative branches - the House and the Senate, and the original Supreme Court, where women's right to vote was first guaranteed. The Governor's office is also in the building, thought you are not allowed to enter unless you have an appointment. You'll learn that from the guard at the door, and if you're fortunate like we were, the guard will share much with you about Wyoming and the Capitol Building. I really with I remembered his/your name, Officer... thank you for being so welcoming and for sharing all you shared... how the floor tiles are from Tennessee and Vermont, the wood largely from Michigan; how one of the bannisters is intentionally upside-down, and one spot in the ceiling stained glass is intentionally inaccurate, to reflect the imperfection in us all; history of the state's governors, including the first ever US female governor, and more. There are many historical items, including some items and videos in a room that has a huge safe door for entry. Definitely worth visiting! Just realized... this is the first state capitol we have visited twice! ----- ----- -----

We were driving north on I-25 and I noticed the location on google maps, just south of Wyoming on the east side of I-25. I was looking for a little diversion so we took the frontage road drive off the highway to check it out. It gave us an opportunity to google and read up on the historical battle (?) that took place here. It's neat to see the terrain and imagine all those years ago as people tried to navigate their lives and this land. The rock formations are certainly pretty cool to look at. After reading about what happened there, I was surprised at the lack of space in this "natural fort". I'm glad we saw it and read about it. I wish we could have continued on north on the frontage road to get back on I-25 but google maps told us to do a 180 & drive south the way we came from to get back on the highway.

I can only imagine how beautiful these rock formations once were before they were ruined…read more We enjoyed climbing around and exploring the different viewpoints. There are several formations but only a couple are accessible from the dirt road that leads to it. The remaining are beyond a fence on private property. It's unfortunate that the locals have let this site go to waste along with letting kids ruin it with spray paint and garbage.

We were still able to see multiple boots and some sculptures. There is a wide variety in the types of art on display and I always appreciate that because then no matter who you are, you will be able to find something to appreciate. We also made sure to visit the Cheyenne sign just next to the plaza. The train museum didn't seem to be open when we were there, otherwise we would have visited that as well. All in all, this is a very nice space and I imagine it is great for gatherings and faires or just as a spot for people to enjoy the city.

Free to the public, you should really consider making a small donation if you visit. The tour is self-guided and we had the place to ourselves.

I'm glad we had a chance to visit and "see how some politicians might have lived".
