UPHS 2026 Convention

Cheyenne, Wyoming
August 2026

Dear Fellow UPHS Members,

The annual UPHS convention will be held in Cheyenne Wyoming commencing on either Wednesday August 12 or Thursday August 13 and run through Saturday August 15. It will be held at the Red Lion Hotel which has totally renovated all the rooms this winter and is now in the process of renovating the main lobby and convention area. We are still working on the particular details but there will definitely be tours of the Cheyenne Roundhouse with various rolling stock outside to view. It looks like Cheyenne Depot Days will run the same weekend as our convention now giving us more opportunities,

The hotel is giving us a guaranteed room rate of $109.00 plus tax a night during the convention and two days before and after the convention if you want to stay and do some exploring. Cheyenne Frontier Days will run the last two weeks of July and there may be some additional activities afterwards.

Keep your eyes on the UPHS website for the latest updates.
