Lander Wyoming Tourism

Lander is situated directly at the base of the Wind River Mountain Range, arguably the most pristine wilderness area in the 48 connected states. It is a virtual paradise of natural beauty that supports an incredible variety of outdoor activities.

Whether you are a hiker, hunter, rock climber, angler, camper, photographer, Nordic skier, horseman, or snow machine rider, you will find unparalleled opportunities to engage with the great outdoors. Despite it’s awesome beauty, the Wind River Range remains uncrowded due to its relative distance from heavily populated areas. Residents of Lander feel blessed to live so close to an area that possesses such an extraordinary range of outdoor opportunities. Visitors quickly realize that it is an important part of the quality of life that we enjoy here.

Outdoor activity occurs all year in Lander. When the aspens shed their golden leaves and the snows begin to fall, cabin fever is the last thing Lander outdoor enthusiasts worry about. Residents tune up their snow machines, wax their Nordic skis, or prepare their ice fishing rigs. A network of snow machine trails in the Shoshone National Forest allows easy access to the back-country, and nearby Nordic ski trails await those who prefer more vigorous winter activity. Alpine skiing fans can be cruising the slopes on a day-trip to the world-class ski resorts in Jackson.
