Ten Sleep, WY

TEN SLEEP—It’s the Fourth of July, and thousands of people dressed in red, white and blue wait along the road in the late morning light for the parade to begin. Locals and visitors have staked out curbside spots using blankets and lawn chairs. Volunteers hand out star-spangled balloons to kiddos eager for candy and firetrucks, while the smell of food trucks parked down the street wafts through the air. A bulldog in a cowboy hat and handkerchief slurps water from a silver bowl outside the town’s saloon. The bartender, stepping outside to get a peek at the crowd, says she’s never seen such a great parade-day turnout.

Don Hall is an avid snowmobiler, but instead of heading for the hills each winter in search of deep powder, he takes an older snowmachine to lower elevations nearer the snow line. There’s a reason the Riverton resident prefers the lower zones despite the rocks, fences and sage most riders avoid: That’s where the coyotes are.

Wyoming allows snowmobilers to run down wildlife. Despite global outrage, it may stay legal.
