Mix a little bit of charming architecture in with the natural backdrop and you end up with some very picturesque towns.

Flickr/Jasperdo Picturesque and charming are two words that define Buffalo to a tee. The vistas of the rolling plains and the Bighorn Mountains create a very picturesque setting. The buildings downtown, along with the architecture of the old Carnegie Library, really add to the town’s charm.
- Cody

- Dubois

- Sheridan

Flickr/Kent Kanouse Sheridan’s scenery is defined by the views of the Bighorn Mountain range and its historic downtown. Don’t you just want to run through that field and take it all in?
