Life in Wyoming is wild – in the best possible way. However, there are a few things that can make life out here a little challenging, and it’s best to avoid them at all costs. How many of the things below are things you dodge in your everyday living?
- Bears.

- Yellowstone in July and August

- Backcountry Camping - unless you know what you’re doing
Flickr / Troy Smith Don’t just pick up a tent and head into the backcountry. Camping out here is no joke! Go with someone experienced your first few times you camp in the middle of nowhere.
- Bad Prime Rib

- Getting stuck in the snow

- Elk, mule deer, and moose

- Wandering off the trail

- Road construction
Flickr / Mlandroche Hahaha, just kidding. For a state with so few roads, how is there so much construction? Good luck avoiding it!
- Wasting a beautiful day

- Leaving Wyoming
Flickr / Kent Kanouse For most of us, there’s no place we’d rather be. Stay here as long as you can - that whole “city life” thing is so overrated.
Even if life in Wyoming can be a challenge, there’s no place on earth quite as amazing. If you need some convincing (after all, our winters are brutal), check out these 16 Photos Taken In Wyoming That You Won’t Believe Are Real.
