The locals like to say that you can be anywhere in this city in 10 minutes, and they’re not wrong. Cheyenne, Wyoming, is a captured-in-time town where the biggest store sells cowboy hats and boots, Ford F-150s politely wait while you cross the quiet streets, and yes, you can get from one side of town to the other in 10 minutes.
The slow pace, kindness of strangers, and casual jeans-and-boots mentality is a balm when you need to de-stress from city life, and visiting in the fall provides pleasant temperatures and varying terrain to enjoy the aspens and cottonwoods as their color bursts through the pines.
If you travel to Cheyenne in the fall, here are some things to do to make the most of your time in the Magic City of the Plains.
While Cheyenne’s most popular event of the year is Frontier Days, the largest outdoor rodeo held in July, the city plays host to another rodeo event that takes place six times a year: Hell on Wheels. The name harkens to the 1860s when Cheyenne’s residents consisted mostly of cowboys and cowgirls, inebriated railroad workers, ladies of the night, and the lawmen who tried to rein them all in. Today, the event is a world-class rodeo that’s as fun as it is competitive.
And the dinner is just as popular. In a nod to chuck wagons, history’s first food trucks, Cheyenne combines food with fun on September 8, so you can feast on brisket and beans, garlic roasted baby potatoes, and cobbler, then cheer on the barrel racers and bull riders.
Cheyenne has a rich history, and its cultural influences abound. If you visit in the fall, you’ll have the opportunity to immerse yourself in two of them in family-friendly environments.
Cheyenne’s Hispanic Festival, held September 9, celebrates Hispanic culture with educational exhibits, games, mariachis, art exhibits, food and craft vendors, piñatas and lots of kid-friendly activities. Grad your partner to dance, enjoy the food and beer, enter a 50/50 raffle and other drawings, and browse the car show. This event is free and a great way to learn how Latinos have contributed to Cheyenne culture.
Hosted by 15th and 16th Saints Constantine and Helen Greek Orthodox Christian Church, the Greek Festival returns on September 15 and 16 for its 36th year of food, music, performances, and legendary pastries. This is a good opportunity to check out Frontier Park, then head to the Exhibition Hall for the event.

Its annual massive nine-day Cheyenne Frontier Days just ended, and Wyoming’s capital has returned to its quiet norm. Or, so you’d think. Actually, the Magic City on the Plains is ever more a city on the go, with brewpubs and creative dining popping up both in the historic downtown and on its the edges—and thankfully not plagued by hipster excess. The small city has a big city number of fine museums as well. And to cap it off, nature hikes are a short ride out of town.
On a central downtown corner, a vast shop in a bright red historic building reflects the heart of Cheyenne, Wyoming. Of course, a cowboy hat is de rigueur here in the boundless West, and you could get lost for hours in The Wrangler. Ultimately, you’ll leave happy after your fitting for the cowboy chapeau of your dreams, and having watched a skilled hat shaper mold it into just the style you prefer. Their boot selection is endless and so too is the supply of sartorial gear that you hadn’t known you needed for the city’s annual Cheyenne Frontier Days.
