of Wyoming

Wyoming is well known for Yellowstone National Park, the Grand Tetons, and Devils Tower, but there are many hidden gems throughout Wyoming that are a must see and are worth exploring.

AYERS NATURAL BRIDGE AND PARK (pictured above) is a beautiful public park nestled in stunning red-rock canyon just 15 minutes from Douglas and is totally free. The Natural Bridge is a great location to enjoy photography and a picnic lunch. LaPrele Creek flows beneath the rock formation, creating one of only three rock archways in the nation that span water.

Hell's Half Acre, WY.

Killpecker Sand Dunes

These dunes are an open play area campground located about 32 miles from Rock Springs. It is a non-fee area and is ADA accessible. The Dunes offer beautiful, soft dunes to explore, as well as the remains of a tumultuous geologic past in the form of buttes and spires like the 400-foot-tall Boar’s Tusk, North Table Mountain, South Table Mountain, Black Rock, Spring Butte and the Leucite Hills. Bring your dune buggy, dirt bike or ATV to traverse across the 11,000 acres of designated open play space. Some of the mammoth dunes reach 100 feet high.

Intermittent Springs

“The spring that breathes”, is also called the Periodic Spring is located in Swift Creek Canyon in Star Valley approximately five miles East of Afton, WY. From late August to May, the water running in the spring turns off and on! Around every 18 minutes the clear, ice-cold water will begin to subside and gradually cease altogether for 15-20mins, then the water will start flowing again, and the cycle continues.
