Hells Half Acre Wyoming Tourism

A fitting name for this unusual scenic location which, with its great depth and varied colors, resembles the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone State Park.

First visited by Captain Bonneville’s party in 1833, Hell’s Half Acre was named “the burning mountain” by the group because of the sulphurous fumes and gases emitted from the area’s burning bituminous coal deposits.

Beware: What might look like rock formations are in reality soft white clay so soft and crumbly that climbing is dangerous. Not surprisingly, the only permanent inhabitants of this area are snakes, prairie dogs and field mice. Visitors to this ethereal area can enjoy lush camping sites at a modern, local campground.
