Visit Carbon County – Carbon County owes much of its early history to the Union Pacific Railroad. The railroad gave names to unnamed places as it laid tracks westward over the Rocky Mountains that would eventually become the Trans-Continental Railroad.

Well ahead of those tracks were Army surveyors laying out the route and marking the waterholes the great steam-locomotives would need to fill their empty tanks. When General Grenville Dodge’s crew discovered a clear alkali-free spring, General John A. Rawlins made the comment, “If anything is ever named after me, I hope it will be a spring of water.” Shortly after that, Dodge named this tiny oasis Rawlins Springs. The Rawlins KOA Kampground is a perfect “home base” in which to explore this rich historical region. Take a trip to the old Virginian Hotel in Medicine Bow. Travel to the Hobo Hot Springs in Saratoga. Test your Fly Fishing skills at the World Famous Miracle Mile on the Platte River. Take a scenic drive to see “Aspen Alley” which is beautiful any time of year!

Independence Rock – On any summer evening in July 1853, hundreds of emigrants could be found swarming all over Independence Rock, chiseling messages to others following behind.
