Thermopolis makes list of most beautiful

Thermopolis has been selected by Expedia as one of the most beautiful towns in America in their second annual list. Although beauty is subjective, the company looked at destinations with downtowns oozing with character, sparkling waves under the glow of a sunset, wide-open ranges void of human handprints, and much more.

Thermopolis is sixth on the list of 30, beating out locations such as Grand Canyon, Ariz., Haleiwa, Hawaii and Grand Lake, Colo. for its spot in the top ten.

According to Chloe Mulliner, who composed the list, “There's no denying the natural wonders of Wyoming, and Thermopolis is the perfect example of what makes this region shine. Surrounded by mountains in every direction, from the Absaroka Range to the Bridger Mountains and beyond, this rustic town showcases Mother Nature's allure.

"Between the world's largest mineral hot spring and access to the spectacular Wind River Canyon, Thermopolis easily earned a spot on our list of beautiful towns and cities across the nation."

Expedia.com released its second Annual Most Beautiful towns in America feature on June 7. The full list is available at viewfinder.expedia.com/features/most-beautiful-towns-in-america-part-2
