Wyoming Cabins with Five Billion Star Views

Living in a cabin in rural Wyoming has its challenges, but there’s one advantage living in the boonies has over any house in a city: the five billion star view.   Check out the view of the night sky from these Wyoming cabins and decide for yourself if you think the view is worth it.

     

“Remember to look up at the stars
and not down at your feet.”

– Stephen Hawking

Small rural communities out on the plains between mountain ranges in Wyoming have a front row seat for wind, but the view of the stars is left beautifully unobstructed. The soft orange glow lighting up the sky is not sunset, but instead the light pollution of the small towns of Riverside and Encampment

 

“The happiness of your life depends
upon the quality of your thoughts.”

– Marcus Aurelius

“To find the universal elements enough.  To find the air and the water exhilarating.
To be refreshed by a morning walk  or an evening saunter.  To be thrilled by the stars at night.  To be elated over a bird’s nest  or a wildflower in spring.  These are some of the rewards  of the simple life.”
-John Burroughs (1837-1921)
