Wind River Country


Breathtaking views of a range that boasts 53 peaks over 13,000 feet in elevation and an area containing nearly 600 lakes and over 2,000 miles of rivers and streams. This is truly a fishermans paradise. Tourists also have the opportunity to immerse themselves in Native American culture from powwows and petroglyphs. Or take in real cowboys and rodeos. Also on this adventure travelers will find the Oregon-Mormon-California-Pony Express trails, abundant wildlife and mountain man rendezvous re-enactments. Don’t forget to visit the Continental Divide at South Pass which is the lowest spot on the divide. Here visitors have the opportunity to experience the land as the nineteenth century emigrants did 150 years ago as they traveled through. There is also a plethora of activities one can do throughout the area from horseback riding to camping and attending local unique events. A journey through this area will provide plenty of oohs and ahhs, as well as a sense of what life was like more than 100 years ago.
