Darren Rudloff says 2017 has been a very good year for tourism both in Cheyenne and the entire state of Wyoming.

The woman was allegedly found asleep in her pickup with her daughter crying loudly.

The Wyoming Department of Transportation says the 68 percent increase was most pronounced in Laramie County, which saw 209,394 vehicles more than average for the third Monday in August.

People are being advised to take an alternate route.

On their Facebook page, park officials say Monday is expected to be the busiest day in the park's history.

Every county in the state was showing an increase in traffic over the five-year average on Saturday.

Fire restrictions are also in place on many national forest lands and in Grand Teton National Park.

The Wyoming Highway Patrol says troopers were extremely busy on Friday.

Officials are worried about firefighters' ability to get to any fires that may start in high-traffic areas.

Some members of the committee will be watching the solar eclipse.
