The city of Laramie, known as the "Gem City of the Plains", looks like a handful of precious stones nestled in a black velvet jewel box when approached from any direction at night. Surrounded by the Snowy Range to the west and the Laramie Mountains to the east, the Laramie Valley is wide enough to be considered a high plain. Its local high school’s mascot is the Plainsman, a nod to explorer/trapper Jacques LaRamee, for whom the town is named. One of the highest incorporated cities in the US, at an elevation of nearly 7,200 feet, Laramie is also near the highest point in the US on I-80. Lincoln Monument, at 8,640 feet, is about 10 miles to the east of town.
