Alpine Wyoming Tourism

Alpine is becoming one of Wyoming’s fastest growing communities as a destination area. Alpine is a winter and summer haven as well as being at the gateway of one of the most scenic areas leading to Teton Park and Yellowstone Park.

In 1995, Alpine won the Old West Trailblazer Award for a town less than 50,000 who demonstrated improving tourism with natural resources, arts, culture, history, agriculture, festivals or events.

Within 15 minutes of Alpine, spring and summer guests can enjoy the thrill of white-water rafting or kayaking on the Snake River, or fishing for Brown Trout, Cutthroat, Whitefish or Lake Trout on one of the three major rivers – the Snake, the Greys, or the Salt – all considered “Blue Ribbon” trout streams, or on the Palisades Reservoir into which they flow. Unguided horseback riding, hiking and biking can add to your activities, and photographic opportunities are unlimited in all four seasons. The Palisades Reservoir, listed on the National Register of Historic Sites, offers 70 miles of shoreline, picnic areas, campgrounds and boat ramps.

At the edge of Alpine’s city limits, the Targhee National Forest with the help of many of the local merchants, has established what is known as the “Wyoming Wildlife – Worth the Watching” natural site for the public to view wildlife and birds in their natural habitat.
The largest event in Alpine is their Mountain Days which is held in early June. This event includes authentic American Indian Dancers.

For winter excitement, Alpine is currently ranked among the top six snowmobiling areas in the nation, with hundreds of miles of groomed and ungroomed trails leading east and west into the nearby scenic mountains. There are also limitless opportunities for cross-country skiing enthusiasts and snow-shoers.

In February, Alpine is a host community of the International Rocky Mountain Stage Stop Sled Dog Race. Throughout the winter, visitors may view elk at the nearby Elk feeding reserve.
