Sweetwater River
18.5 miles west of Jeffrey City on US-287

The trail crossed the Sweetwater River for the sixth time about three miles southwest of the bridge on US-287. From this point, the Trail takes a southwesterly course directly toward Great South Pass at the southern end of the Wind River Mountains, the range that dominates the skyline to the west. US-287 turns to the northwest and leaves the trail corridor as it crosses Beaver Rim to drop into the Wind River valley. Sweetwater Station and a highway rest area offer visitor services and information at this point. Source: BLM brochure.
