If you’re the type of person to seek out underrated adventures and the path less traveled, you’ve got to make time to explore the Wind River Canyon in western Wyoming. The Wind River region offers world-class hiking, fishing, and river rafting — all without the crowds of the National Parks. Come see for yourself why Wyomingites have been spending their time in the canyon for generations.
Wyoming's Wind River cuts through an overlooked mountain range and its eponymous canyon south of the Jackson Hole valley.
Rafting the wild Wind River demands excellent navigation and fine-tuned skills. The team running Wind River Canyon Whitewater is made up of Indigenous people and locals who grew up on the water.
For a trip down the river that won't make your heart race, book a scenic float.
You'll get to see the beauty and wildlife of the canyon without having to navigate tricky and heart-pounding rapids. You can even combine your lazy river trip with a BBQ meal for a full day out on the water.
If you want to see the Wind River in a completely different way, book a Fly Fishing Trip.
With guides that know the river like the back of their hands, you're sure to catch some remarkable fish that you can brag about for months.
Whether you come out to the Wind River for whitewater rafting, a scenic float, or to catch your dinner for the night, you're sure to remember your time on this wild and scenic river for as long as you live.
