Riverton (pop. ~10,682) sits at the edge of the Wind River Mountains and makes a comfortable multi-week base — think daily hiking, fishing, scenic drives, cozy local restaurants and strong cultural ties to the Wind River Reservation for an interesting, outdoors-forward lifestyle.
Nearby Lander is about 24 miles away for climbing, craft beers and arts, and Thermopolis — roughly 55 miles — offers world-class hot springs, so bigger‑town amenities and weekend escapes are an easy drive when you want a change of scene.
