Top Things to Do in Lander, Wyoming, Lander, Wyoming

Lander is a small city located in West central Wyoming near the Wind River Mountain range and less than three hours from Jackson. The city of Lander is an outdoor mecca. In fact, many state and federal organizations as well as private and non-profit outdoor organizations such as National Outdoor Leadership School (NOLS), Wyoming Outdoor Council, the Wyoming office of the Nature Conservancy, the Wyoming Wildlife Federation keep their offices in Lander.

While Lander is internationally known in the climbing community, I believe this city of 7,500 has been flying under the radar when it comes to attracting other outdoor enthusiasts. In ten years, I expect it will be the next Moab for summer adventures.

As you might guess, the biggest thing to do in Lander is to spend time outdoors. Take your pick: hike, mountain bike, climb, fish, four-wheel drive, paddle board, kayak, or horseback ride.
