와이오밍 주

(State of Wyoming)

와이오밍은 인디언 말로 "대평원" 이라는 뜻 입니다.

와이오밍 (State of Wyoming)는

 

콜로라도와 마찬가지로 직선으로만 된 직4각형인 주입니다.

 

남북 450km, 동서 길이 580km 면적이 25만평방km 남북한 면적보다 조금 넓고,

인구는 2011년통계로 49만여명으로 미국에서 인구가 가장 적습니다.

그래서 연방 하원의원이 한사람 입니다.

한반도 보다 조금 면적에 제주도 인구보다도 적은 사람이 살고있는셈 입니다.

 

한국에서 50만명만 이민오게 해서 산다면, 주지사도 한인이 하고....

 미국속에 또 하나의 한국이 생기는건데..

 

 

1872년옐로스톤이 첫 국립공원으로 지정되었습니다.

 

 

워낙 유명한 곳이라 미국에 방문한다면 누구나 한 번쯤 가보고 싶다는 생각을 하지만,

미국의 국립 공원이라는 곳이 대부분 다 그렇듯이 여기도 배낭 여행은 못 합니다.

공원 주변에 대도시나 공원까지 가는 대중교통이 없고, 공원 안의 교통 수단도

 

전무하기 때문에 자가 운전이 필수 입니다.

공원 안에 포장 도로를 잘 닦았으니 운전만 가능하다면 편히 여행할 수 있습니다.

아이오밍 주와 몬태나 주, 그리고 아이다호 주가 만나는 지점에 위치한 미국 최대, 최고의 국립공원.

이름의 까닭은 황 성분 때문에 돌이 노래서 입니다.

산, 평원, 간헐온천 등이 즐비하고 온갖 야생동물의 천국이라

 

관광지로 인기높으며 세계유산에 등록했습니다.

 

공원이 워낙 크니 그냥 훑어보는 식으로 주요 볼거리만 다 찍는다고 해도

 

3일은 잡아야 제대로 구경할 수 있습니다.

물론 여유가 있다면 이레 남짓 머물면서 자유롭게 여행해도 좋습니다.

참고로 입장권은 차량 당 하나씩 사도록 하며 유효 기간이 이레 입니다.

공원의 서남쪽이며 명물 온천과 간헐천들이 가장 많이 모여서,

 

5개의 컨트리 중 관광객들이 가장 많습니다.

그냥 차를 몰고 지나가기만 해도 여기저기서 김이 나는 진풍경이며

 

여기 있는 온천과 간헐천을 모두 다 둘러보려면 하루가 꼬박 걸립니다.
