Wyoming is truly the most beautiful state – anyone who thinks our state is nothing but barren sagebrush certainly hasn’t driven through our most beautiful mountain ranges! In one overlooked corner of the state, there’s a small town completely surrounded by natural beauty, and any visitor would be sure to fall in love. Centennial is truly a hidden gem in the heart of Wyoming.

The drive into Centennial along the Snowy Range Road is one of the most beautiful drives in Wyoming.
