The walk begins on a sun-warmed block of downtown Cheyenne, where brick facades and railroad relics press close and a phone screen becomes your map and riddler. You’ll move at your own pace through roughly 1.5 miles of streets, alleyways and public squares, solving clues that point to buildings, plaques and oddball municipal laws that give the Magic City of the Plains its personality.

History
Cheyenne rose with the Union Pacific Railroad after 1867 and played a role in early automobile racing lore (the 1908 New York-to-Paris event) and Wyoming’s early social reforms, including women’s suffrage and the nation’s first female governor.
Conservation
Stick to sidewalks and public paths, pack out trash, and support local preservation efforts that maintain historic facades; downtown foot traffic can stress older masonry if visitors stray into non-designated areas.
