If hiking isn’t enough of an activity, the park is also great for rock climbing and wildlife-spotting. Here, a snowshoe across the suspension bridge transports you into the region’s very own Narnia. Perhaps no place better exemplifies the glory of Wyoming’s wilderness than Sinks Canyon State Park. Wind River Country’s scenery is an attraction in and of itself. Wind River Tribal Buffalo Initiative: 10929 Hwy 26 Kinnear, WY 82516 Visitors are welcome, though you should reach out well in advance.

Lander art district: 258 Main St, Lander, WY 82520 Meet Wyoming’s bisonĪccording to the Wind River Tribal Buffalo Initiative, bison aren’t livestock they’re wildlife - and you can see them for yourself. Make sure to stop by Alchemy, a cooperative of artists who make and sell scenic landscapes, one-of-kind jewelry, and intricate ceramics, among other handmade creations. Colorful murals of Wyoming’s wildlife adorn brick buildings, while nature inspires the paintings inside local shops. Start at the Lander Art Center and go forth from there.
