Lander is a lively small mountain town at the gateway to the Wind River Range with world‑class climbing, hiking, fishing and a tight local arts/food scene—perfect for filling multiple weeks with outdoor days, community events and easy social life rather than feeling stuck.
You’re also near the larger hub of Riverton (about 25 miles) for extra shopping and services, and quick escapes like Sinks Canyon State Park and the nearby Wind River Wild Horse Sanctuary keep weekends interesting.
