Winter in Wyoming is pretty epic. If you’re planning a trip to The Cowboy State, here are three things to do while you’re here in Wind River Country.
1. Book a guided snowmobile trip with Union Pass Rentals in Dubois. ❄️

2. Visit Sinks Canyon State Park near Lander. You can snowshoe, stay in a yurt or book an underground cave tour.

If you`re a history lover, be sure to plan a visit to Wyoming`s Wind River Country.
Back in the 1860s, Pony Express riders raced across the frontier to deliver mail swiftly. You can still visit pieces of that storied trail throughout Wind River Country, including Devil’s Gate, Three Crossings, Rocky Ridge and South Pass—routes shared by the Oregon, Mormon and California Trails.
