image of Cheyenne

Cheyenne is the capital of Wyoming and the largest city in the state. Like many other western cities, the name Cheyenne comes from the Native American tribe that lived in the area when the city was founded. The name is pronounced "Shy-anne".

The Cheyenne Regional Airport (airport code: CYS) is only for local air traffic, and the nearest major airport is the Denver International Airport (DEN). Denver is 144 kilometres (90 miles) south of Cheyenne, with good road connections for rented cars or shuttle buses. Small prop planes do fly between Denver and Cheyenne but they will provide a very rough and somewhat uncomfortable trip if you are not used to small aircraft. A flight to Cheyenne (actually arriving in Denver) is available with either 1 or 2 connections, depending on the airline. Virgin Atlantic makes one stop in London, and Delta has its connection in Atlanta. There are longer routes with 2 stops with British Midland or Lufthansa.
