What is there to do in Wyoming in late October? Are the roads still open in Yellowstone, are there any fall festivals, etc...? I am looking at potentially visiting with my wife for our anniversary the weekend of 10/24-10/25. We have been to all 4 corners in the past during work trips, but haven't really had a chance to be tourists. Thank you!
