Three Wyoming habits worth keeping

Do not count on cell service. Save maps, addresses and essential information before leaving town.

Fuel earlier than usual. Distances between services can be long, especially on scenic and regional routes.

Check again that morning. Road, weather, fire and park conditions can change after the itinerary is built.
