Start from 36 curated places around Sheridan, WY, then choose the recommendations that fit your guests.
Restaurants & cafés
Frackelton's
A North Main fixture doing modern American plates with a daily market menu built around what's seasonal and local. The room is the upscale-but-unfussy end of downtown dining, and the bar pours a deep whiskey list.
Le Reve Restaurant & Raw Bar
A downtown fine-dining room off Main built around a raw bar of oysters and crudo alongside French-leaning plates and Wagyu, with a chandelier-and-velvet setting that feels outsized for a town this size. It opened in 2024 and quickly drew AAA Four Diamond and James Beard semifinalist attention.
Trails & outdoors
Red Grade Trails System
Over 17 miles of non-motorized loops on state, BLM, and national forest land just up Highway 335 from town, winding through conifer and aspen along a year-round creek. Five trailheads between The Base and Bear Gulch let you pick anything from an easy meadow loop to a steep climb to big valley vistas.
Soldier Ridge Trail
A non-motorized foothill trail only minutes from downtown Sheridan that climbs through grassland and sage to open 360-degree views over the valley and the Bighorns. The longer out-and-back stretches several miles, but you can turn back whenever the ridgeline view is enough.
Things to do
WYO Performing Arts and Education Center
A 1923 vaudeville house downtown, saved by a community restoration in 1989, that now runs touring acts, musicals, concerts, and film nights from a restored main stage. There's also a black-box studio and a dance studio, so the calendar runs deep year-round.
The Mint Bar
Sheridan's oldest bar, open since 1907, with a 1938 neon bucking-bronco sign out front and walls packed with taxidermy, brands, and rodeo memorabilia. It's the default after-dinner stop on Main Street.
Landmarks & sights
Trail End State Historic Site
The 1913 Flemish Revival mansion of John Kendrick, a cattle baron who became Wyoming governor and U.S. senator. The house kept its original Burmese teak floors, a hand-cranked elevator, and a third-floor ballroom, all set on a hill above town with the Bighorns behind it.
The Brinton Museum
A Western and American Indian art collection on the 620-acre Quarter Circle A Ranch outside Big Horn, with Remingtons, Russells, and the world's largest Hans Kleiber holding. The newer rammed-earth gallery building is built into the hillside, and the original 1893 ranch house is preserved as it was when Bradford Brinton lived here.
