The North Pole is known as one of the most northernmost points on earth, a winter wonderland and as Santa’s headquarters in a cold, snowy and magical setting. There are some areas in Wyoming where the average snowfall is around 200 inches which creates a landscape similar to that of the magnetic north. Here are 12 majestic spots in Wyoming that will make you feel like you’re in the North Pole.
- Grand Targhee

- High Desert
Flickr/carfull….home in Mongolia These Russian Olive trees are covered in snow and ice creating a winter wonderland in Wyoming.
- The Grand Canyon Of Yellowstone And The Falls
Flickr/Harvey Barrison The average snowfall in Yellowstone is one of the highest in the state. The waterfall is frozen in midstream.
- Afton
Flickr/lord the air smells good today The snowfall in Afton creates some interesting sculptures.
- Elk Refuge
Flickr/Ian Sanderson Not quite Santa’s sleigh. These are specially camouflaged sleighs that deceive the elk in the National Elk Refuge. The elk are ok with the sleighs but are spooked by a person on foot.
- Jackson
Flickr/Joanathan Haeber The soft lights throw off a yellow glow in Town Square creating a rather magical setting.
- Uinta
Flickr/madpoet_one I love how the snow drifts in Uinta begin to look like frozen waves.
- Beartrap Meadow
Flickr/Eric Dog sledding is a common denominator when it comes to Wyoming and the North Pole.
- Grover
Flickr/arbyreed These “sculptures” are all the rage in Wyoming. These towers can range anywhere from fifty to sixty feet tall. They are made by putting a water-pipe outside and periodically running water up to the top of the pipe so it sprays out and freezes forming a tower that is taller than the pipe.
- Elk Mountain
Flickr/carfull…home in Mongolia Snow as far as the eye can see. Pictured is an aerial view of Elk Mountain in southern Wyoming’s Snowy Range.
- Yellowstone
Flickr/NAParish This elk in Yellowstone could pass as one of Santa’s reindeer.
- Bighorn Reservoir
