Self Guided Tours: Take a self-guided cassette tape "Explore the Land of Trails" driving tour of Sinks Canyon, the Loop Road, South Pass and Atlantic City, and Red Canyon. You can purchase or rent these tapes at the Lander Area Chamber of Commerce office.

Riding: Horseback ride by the week.
Camping: Camp at one of the beautiful private, state and federal campgrounds or head into the backcountry for more solitude and beauty.
Outfitting: Get into the Wind River Mountains with an outfitter: try llama or horse packing for an outdoor experience with more "creature" comforts.
Sinks Canyon State Park and Environs: See the unusual geological phenomenon at Sinks Canyon State Park – the Popo Agie River disappears into a cavern (the "Sinks") and then reappears in a trout-filled pool ¼ mile downstream (the "Rise"). The visitor center has interpretive materials, an overlook to the Sinks, and nature trails.
Hike a 1.5 mile trail to the 150-foot Popo Agie Falls. Rock climb at this internationally renowned area.
Wildlife Adventures: Hunt for moose, elk, bighorn sheep, antelope, and other wildlife on your own or with the outfitters. Enjoy watching for raptors, songbirds, waterfowl, and upland game birds in several different habitats.
Winter Recreation
Ice Skating/Hockey: Try ice skating or hockey. Both are popular winter activities at Lander City Park for everyone of all ages.
Sledding: Enjoy a day of sledding on one of the hills at Sinks Canyon State Park.
Snowmobile Trails: Enjoy the 70 miles of groomed trails in the Lander/Sinks Canyon area. Lander is the southern-most trailhead to the Continental Divide Snowmobile Trail and is one of the few Wyoming towns that allows snow machines on city streets. From here you can ride the trail uninterrupted into Yellowstone National Park.
Cross Country or Telemark Skiing: Here you will be surrounded by trees and scenic views of the Wind River Mountains. Try the 10 kilometers of groomed trails in the South Pass area. South Pass is known for great skiing and at 7,500 feet you will feel like you are at the top of the world. With the great views from the Lander golf course, you will feel like you are in the back-country while you ski on the groomed trails without leaving town.
Snowmobiling: Snowmobile into Christina and Louis Lakes for plentiful lake trout and brook trout.
