Gas Hills Uranium Adventure Trek

On September 13, 1953, uranium was first found in the Gas Hills, almost 70 years ago to the day. On this Wind River Visitors Council Adventure Trek, the Riverton Museum, joined by historian Zach Larsen, will take participants to the Gas Hills for a tour of the historical sites that shaped Wyoming’s uranium industry.

This trek requires a good amount of walking, so dress accordingly. Bring a sack lunch and water. $10 per person. Meet at the Riverton Museum (700 E. Park Ave.) at 9 a.m. Call the Museum for details at (307) 856-2665.
