Gillette

Anchored in Wyoming’s northeast corner, Gillette is the gateway to Devils Tower National Monument, the nation’s first national monument, and the perfect midway stop between Yellowstone National Park and South Dakota’s Mount Rushmore National Memorial.

Gillette, Wyoming, is known as the energy capital of the nation, offering tours of the Eagle Butte Coal Mine in the summer. It’s also home to CAM-PLEX, the largest multi-event facility in the western U.S. hosting countless entertainment opportunities, including live music, rodeos, theater and much more. For those looking to avoid the crowds, take a short drive to Durham Buffalo Ranch, one of the largest privately owned bison ranches in the county. Summer tours are available to see the nearly 3,000 bison that reside on the ranch. Your trip wouldn’t be complete until you experience Gillette’s growing culinary scene. With more than 70 restaurants and Wyoming’s first meadery, you’ll surely find something to satisfy your taste buds.
