Southwest Wyoming - Wild Horses, Flaming Gorge & Red Desert

The outdoor enthusiast will find so much to do in Wyoming's Sweetwater County that a second vacation will need to be planned to get it all in. From high desert sand dunes to a 91-mile long lake (Flaming Gorge Reservoir) to majestic wild horse herds, southwestern Wyoming has something for everyone. Flaming Gorge is a trophy fishery with abundant camping and jet-skiing. The Green River runs through the heart of this area and feeds into Flaming Gorge. The Green is world-renowned as a trophy trout fishery. Killpecker Sand Dunes is one of the largest active sand dunes in North America. Seedskadee National Wildlife Refuge is a haven for many types of wildlife species. A wild horse loop tour has been added to show visitors the best locations and provides the best opportunity to view one of the last wild horse herds on the continent. Green River’s Whitewater Park has three drops with pools that are sure to attract not only the kayak enthusiast, but rafters, folks in inner tubes and yes, even the fisherman. The river improvements begin at the Pacific Power pump station, off of N. 8th Street in Green River. Two other structures are located next to Expedition Island.
