Cheyenne rests on a broad plateau 6,100 feet above sea level. The Northern end of the Front Range Mountains to the west act as a moisture barrier, lending to the city’s semi-arid climate. Bathed in sunshine and clear blue skies 273 days a year, the city experiences 52 inches of annual snowfall, which quickly melts away in the sun’s warm rays.
