Western Wyoming's Outdoor Playground
The Wyoming Range is where visitors come to avoid the crowds that flock to the nearby Jackson area and Wind River Mountains. It's where the Pinedale Chamber of Commerce sends tourists who say they want some quiet and solitude. Much of this visitation is by long-time visitors who treasure the places they return to year after year and don’t want to see them changed.
Roads and trailheads link vast stretches of the range to nearby towns. This road system, largely created for timbering, is now primarily used for recreation, including ORV use, scenic driving tours, accessing trailheads and dispersed camping. The roads near the range's margins are "hot spots" for recreation, places like Middle Piney Creek, Willow Creek, Cliff Creek and Greys River.
Whether you're basing out of your RV to fish and relax for a few days, or heading out with your backpack for a solitary journey along the 70-mile Wyoming Range Recreation Trail, which traverses the range’s scenic crest, there's something for everyone in the Wyoming Range. It's a place both hard-core outdoor folks and families with small kids can enjoy. People can camp without paying a fee, mountain bike and travel on motorized trail vehicles, even access winter shelters. All of these options will only make the Wyoming Range more popular in the years to come, as our wild places increasingly become either restricted or else industrialized areas used to satisfy the nation's energy needs.
People don’t pay money to look at landscapes covered with well pads, devoid of wildlife and air that has a brown tint to it.

The range’s profound sense of place can be attributed to its vast stretches of roadless lands, such as the 300,000-acre Grayback Ridge area, places that are ideal for hiking, hunting, fishing, snowmobiling, horseback riding and other high-quality outdoor activities.
