After breakfast, we headed over to the State Capitol for a tour. This building, which was completed in 1890, has a distinctive gold dome - inside the dome, the ceiling of the rotunda is blue and yellow stained glass. There are statues scattered around, inside and outside - a pretty place in the snow.
We walked around the slippery corner to the Wyoming State Museum to learn a little more about the history of this state. Here is Shoshone Chief Washakie, whose claim to fame was that he was the only major Indian chief who never declared war on the United States.
We drove north from Cheyenne to Sheridan - not exactly the most direct route to Yellowstone, but ... it was the route that wasn't closed by snow. And it turned out to be a pretty drive - we saw lots of pronghorn antelopes, as well as bald eagles, white-tail deer and mule deer.
