Must See

Sinks Canyon State Park - The Popo Agie River (pronounced by locals: Popo Á Gee, or Pápogee) disappears into a cavern and reappears down the canyon in a pool filled with giant trout. Sorry, No Fishing is allowed at this site, but have fun feeding the fish with fish food provided in a vending machine. Also if you are into hiking, there’s a great 2.5 mile trail, up hill, to the Popo Agie Falls. For the very young and brave, there are natural rock water slides that drop you into a pool of ice cold river water. A further drive up the canyon takes you to several lakes for great fishing and sightseeing. See the self-guided driving tour.

The Oregon and Mormon trails went through the South Pass area — the only place they could get through the mountain range. The names of sites in the area explain the crossing over the Continental Divide, with the Pacific Peak, finally over the top and onto the Western slope. The trails then split off, some going to Salt Lake City, Oregon or California.

Eagle Bronze Foundry was opened in Lander in 1986 by Monte & Beverly Paddleford. They based the name of their business on Isaiah 40:31 as they stepped out in faith to start their business. The Eagle Bronze staff of 55+ has produced over 650 monuments for clients in the United States, Canada, Europe, Japan and the Middle East.

You can see fine monuments located in several places in Lander. You can tour the foundry Monday through Friday at 9:30 am.

They charge $5.00. The phone number is 307-332-5436. The art gallery is open from 8:00 am to 5:00 p.m. The foundry is located just a half mile from Sleeping Bear RV Park.

Go right on Hwy 287 about half a mile, and turn at the Lander Industrial sign. You will see the Tannery / Rocky Mt. Dubbing Outlet. This is another good place to stop if you like to fly fish or see some fabulous furs. Eagle Bronze is located behind the Tannery on Poppy Street.

Pioneer Museum — Located at 1445 West Main Street. You can tour the museum Monday through Saturday 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

South Pass City is only a 40 minute beautiful scenic drive up the Red Canyon.

South Pass City is where the first gold was discovered in 1842 by a Georgian. On his way back east, he was killed by Indians.

There was scattered prospecting until 1867, when a party of miners, returning east from the California gold fields, discovered a rich place near the confluence of Hermit Gulch and Willow Creek. South Pass City was laid out on Willow Creek in October of that year. The next year, gold was found near present day Atlantic City, and soon afterward, a town site was laid out there, followed shortly by Hamilton City to the northeast, later to become Miner’s Delight, and Lewiston to the east.

These four settlements were contained within Carter County. Dakota Territory, becoming Fremont County, Wyoming Territory in 1869, and the State of Wyoming in 1890. Find South Pass City on your Wind River Country self-guided driving tour brochure. The Carissa Mine, (tours by reservations 307-332-3684), is still in operation, and there are many private claims, but local mining is more of a hobby than a money maker these days.

Watch out for abandoned mine shafts!

Museum of the American West — Located at 1445 West Main Street. You can tour the museum Monday through Friday 9:00 am to 4:00 p.m.
