Wyoming is one of the most untamed and overlooked states in the U.S., and it’s hiding jaw-dropping secrets that almost nobody talks about.

In the video below, we uncover 50 wild facts about Wyoming that will completely change how you see the Cowboy State.

From mountains that move and boiling hot springs that explode, to hidden deserts, fossil graveyards, and prehistoric surprises.

This is the real Wyoming you won’t find in the travel guides.

You can, and you should, go to the well-known tourist places. But you really must see these amazing hidden places, as the video below shows.

Steamboat Geyser,  located in Yellowstone National Park's Norris Geyser Basin in Wyoming, is the world's tallest active geyser, with major eruptions reaching over 300 feet high, though they are highly unpredictable and can be years apart. Recent years, particularly since 2018, have seen an increase in eruptions, though it still operates in cycles of active and dormant periods.

A geologic mystery. The Madison Limestone that now forms Heart Mountain was laid down on top of layers of dolomite and ancient granite more than 300 million years ago when the area was covered by a large tropical sea.

The Great Divide Basin, or Great Divide Closed Basin, is an area of land in the Red Desert of Wyoming where none of the water falling as rain to the ground drains into any ocean, directly or indirectly. It is thus an endorheic basin, one of several in North America that adjoin the Continental Divide. This doesn't happen anywhere else in North America.

Two Ocean Pass is a place where the creek at the top of the mountain splits. Half the water heads towards the Pacific, the other half heads towards the Atlantic.

This video has 50 items in all, and every one of them is worth exploring.

Most people don't know about these Wyoming treasures.
