City & Place Guide

Small-town Wyoming charm on the edge of the Bighorn Basin

Cowley is a quiet agricultural community in Big Horn County, northern Wyoming, nestled near the Bighorn River and surrounded by high desert plains and rugged canyon country. Founded by Mormon settlers in the late 19th century, the town retains a peaceful, tight-knit character with a slower pace that appeals to travelers seeking an off-the-beaten-path Wyoming experience.

The area serves as a practical base for exploring the natural wonders of the Bighorn Basin, including nearby Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area and the dramatic landscapes of the Pryor Mountains. Outdoor enthusiasts, anglers, and history buffs will find plenty to discover within a short drive of this unassuming small town.

  • •Bighorn Canyon National Recreation Area — stunning canyon scenery, boating, and wildlife viewing on the Wyoming-Montana border.
  • •Bighorn River — excellent trout and walleye fishing along a scenic stretch of river near town.
  • •Medicine Wheel National Historic Landmark — ancient Native American stone structure atop Medicine Wheel Passage, about an hour away.
  • •Lovell (nearby) — charming neighbor town with rose gardens, dinosaur digs, and local heritage museums.
  • •Pryor Mountains Wild Horse Range — one of few places in the US to spot free-roaming wild mustangs.
  • •Bighorn National Forest — hiking, camping, and breathtaking mountain scenery accessible via the scenic byway east of the basin.

Getting around: Cowley has no public transit, rail, or rideshare service; a personal vehicle or rental car is essential for getting around town and exploring surrounding attractions, as distances between sights are significant and roads can be remote.

Local food: Look for classic Wyoming ranch fare including beef steaks, hearty breakfast plates, and homemade pies at small diners in nearby Lovell and Greybull.
