General presentation
Lander et Wind River Range
Climbing cliffs, alpine lakes and major mountain routes.
The discovery of Lander and Wind River Range is based on Sinks Canyon State Park, Cirque of the Towers and Popo Agie Falls. The stay thus alternates between mountain reliefs, shores and lakes and natural spaces, giving a concrete picture of the destination beyond its only best known site.
See all
For a stay of 3 to 8 days, it is better to balance the visits and the travel times. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Nature and panorama
Sinks Canyon State Park
Sinks Canyon State Park due its name to the Popo Agie River, which disappears in a limestone cavity before reappearing lower in a clear basin. The phenomenon intrigues as much as the canyon itself, with easy paths, cliffs and access from Lander for a half-day in nature.
Place indismissible
Cirque of the Towers
The Cirque of the Towers forms a granite amphitheatre in the Wind River Range, sought by experienced climbers and hikers. The approach is long, but the arrival between needles, lakes and walls gives one of the most prominent alpine scenery of Wyoming.
Nature and panorama
Popo Agie Falls
Popo Agie Falls is joined by a path near Lander, in the foothills of the Wind River Range. The waterfall slides on clear rock slabs, with basins and pine trees around; the exit remains accessible while giving a true mountain taste.
Nature and landscape
Fremont Lake
Fremont Lake stretch at the foot of the Wind River Range in a deep glacial basin, bordered by steep slopes and cold water. Near Pinedale, it attracts fishing, sailing, swimming and views of the peaks, with a more alpine atmosphere than the classic lake.
