Few cities in Wyoming have a history as closely tied to settlement along the Tongue River as Dayton. Set at the northern foothills of the Bighorn Mountains, the town occupies a valley where open grassland quickly gives way to timbered slopes and the higher country of Bighorn National Forest. U.S. Route 14, part of the Bighorn Scenic Byway, passes through Dayton on its way toward mountain passes. The town remains closely connected to the ranching communities of Sheridan County, while mountain weather and the nearby range shape daily life.
