Can you believe that it is already November? We can't seem to wrap our heads around it. It's almost as though we woke up with 3ft of snow in April, crash coursed through a lively summer, tipped our hats to the most beautiful fall season and finally opened our eyes to a winter full of opportunity in the 5150'. 

Look we know we're jumping the gun a bit here... BUT with Thanksgiving right around the corner, we can't help but feel as though our cups are so full from this place and the spirited people who dwell here.

To manifest a month of good ol' fashioned Wyoming gratitude, we've collected 21 of our favorite Instagram moments (captured by you!) that are SURE to make you thankful for the 5150' (if you're not already!). Get lost and revel in them below:
