Whatever your interests are, we invite you to discover Lander, Wyoming...where we combine history with visions for the future.
Lander, Wyoming is a pristine town situated at the foot of the Wind River Mountains in west central Wyoming. What are the Wind River Mountains, you ask? We're not as famous as our cousins - Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park - but we are a lot less crowded. Just across the continental divide from Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Park lies Wind River Country, Wyoming. Here you can fish along more than 2,000 miles of alpine streams or hike up as many as 53 mountain peaks over 13,000 feet tall. You can watch cowboys cling to bucking broncos at the rodeo; dance at a Native American Pow Wow; or retrace pioneer trails. Whether you like to poke around old ghost towns or explore millions of acres of pristine wilderness, you'll find vacation adventures in Wind River Country, Wyoming. And with only a few more people per square mile than antelope, you are guaranteed an uncrowded experience.
