Roundup is the county seat. It has a name that tells you exactly what this place is about. Well, close enough. It’s mostly cattle country here. But it’s not all cows and cowboys. The area has a rich coal mining history that shaped its character.
You won’t find fancy restaurants here, but the local diners serve up comfort food that’ll stick to your ribs. If you’re lucky, you might catch a rodeo. Keep an eye out for pronghorn antelope because they’re faster than you’d believe.
