Casper's iconic Lou Taubert Ranch Outfitters has for three generations been the go-to spot for working cowboys and those who love the Western lifestyle. It all began when a teen boxer from Germany came to the West to be a cowboy.
Just more than a four-hour drive from Denver or via a one-hour direct flight, there is a place that defied my expectations in a BIG way. Happily, on a recent visit, I discovered that Casper, Wyoming, is a delightful, diverse, happening, Western-feel town with a hefty dose of sophistication.
