Lander is nestled against the foothills of the Wind River Mountains on the banks of the Popo Agie River. Outfitters are available.
Lander is where history began in Fremont County.
Lander saw the first white trappers in 1811, became a small military post in 1869 and now borders the Wind River Indian Reservation. The area provides important habitat for moose, bighorn sheep, elk, deer, antelope, and other wildlife. After an adventure-filled day, strolling down historic Main Street, enjoy an evening of dining, shopping, and participating in the nightly activities.
