Thermopolis enjoys a quality of life most places only dream of. The physical setting is spectacular, colorful, inspiring. The area remains unspoiled and relatively undiscovered, beckoning the visitor, the new resident, or the new business. Thermopolis people cherish their lifestyle, and understand its rareness. Real ranchers, cowboys and Indians live here, and the Western mystique is alive and well.
People know one another.
You can experience a kind of freedom you've probably never known. There are a thousand square miles of public land in the county, thousands more in neighboring counties, and you can experience a nature that is relatively untouched but easily accessible. More than two million acres of wilderness are within easy reach. There are local clubs for tennis, soccer, Tai Chi, Karate, and many other activities. The Town, County, and Recreation Board jointly manage, under an agreement with the National Guard, the Armory, which provides an indoor venue for many activities.
