Does Utah honor a Wyoming non-resident permit?

Wyoming does not issue non-resident carry permits (residents only — the DCI FAQ answers 'Can a non-resident obtain a concealed firearm permit in Wyoming?' with 'No.' Active-duty Wyoming military stationed out of state may still apply; a permit remains valid if the holder later moves away but cannot be renewed), so the question does not arise.

Can a Utah resident permit holder carry in Wyoming?

Recognized — and permitless carry applies. Reciprocity is decided by the destination state, so the answer in this direction depends on Wyoming's law, not Utah's.

Where does Utah publish its official reciprocity list?

Utah publishes its recognition policy on an official state page, linked in the sources on this page. That page is the authority — check it shortly before travel, because recognition lists change without much notice.
