The World From Above season 8 episode 4 takes us on an awe-inspiring journey through the state of Wyoming. From the Lost Cabin to Devil's Tower, viewers will be treated to a bird's eye view of some of the most stunning natural landscapes in America.

The episode begins with a breathtaking view of the Wind River Range as we follow the course of the Popo Agie River. From here, we soar over the quiet town of Lander, known for its rich Native American history and outdoor recreation opportunities. We then make our way to Yellowstone National Park, where we witness the iconic Old Faithful geyser as it erupts to heights of over 100 feet.

As we make our way east, the landscape transforms into rolling plains and the natural beauty of the state takes center stage. We pass over the town of Casper, known for its oil industry and rich history as a hub for pioneers and cowboys. From here, we make our way to the famous Devils Tower, an iconic natural rock formation rising over 800 feet into the air. We observe the vast open space around the tower that served as the setting for Steven Spielberg's science fiction classic, "Close Encounters of the Third Kind."

Continuing our journey, we fly over the town of Sheridan, known for its western charm and scenic mountain views. Multiple ranches and farms dot the land below as we witness the vastness and isolation of the Wild West. We then make our way to the Big Horn Mountains, one of Wyoming's most beloved natural wonders. The rugged landscape is home to diverse wildlife like moose, mountain lions, and black bears.

To the south, we fly over the Wind River Indian Reservation, the largest in Wyoming and home to the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho tribes. The reservation is a natural and cultural hotspot, complete with stunning mountains, valleys, and rivers that have deep cultural significance.

The finale of episode 4 takes views over the Tetons, with an unobstructed view of the Teton Range and Jackson Hole. The dramatic peaks, wide alpine valleys, and glacial lakes, makes for a picturesque and unforgettable final view.

This episode of The World From Above serves up an incredible opportunity for viewers to experience the natural majesty of Wyoming. Its open wilderness, rich history, and postcard-worthy landscapes make it a must-visit location for anyone interested in natural wonders and the great American West.
