Photos: Best of the West

This photo taken Monday, June 25, 2012 shows the Smith Mansion in Wapiti, Wyo. Francis Lee Smith, who built the entire structure alone and by hand, took up residence in the home once the first floor was complete but never stopped construction. He continued to add new floors, rooms, and features for more than 12 years until he died in 1992 after falling from an upper level. (AP Photo/Star-Tribune, Alan Rogers)
