7 Incredible Natural Wonders In Wyoming That You Can Witness For Free

Getting in to Grand Teton National Park will cost you around $35, unless you have an annual pass. However, you can witness the beauty of the Teton range for free at many different National Forest sites surrounding the park. Drive up Sheep Mountain, or hike up Table Mountain for a view of Wyoming's most famous peak.

The trek to Sherd Lake is a fairly easy one, and you'll end up in the heart of the Cloud Peak Wilderness. This is one of the most beautiful and underrated alpine lakes in Wyoming.

Afton's Intermittent or Periodic Spring is an odd natural wonder - a cold spring geyser. This oddity can be reached by a flat and easy trail that's less than a mile long and is so worth the stop next time you're in the Star Valley. The rushing cascade turns off and then on again, like a faucet. It's bizarre.

Driving through the Wind River Canyon will show you the unspeakable power of water over time. Cliffs and mountains frame the Wind River in a way that almost looks unreal.

There are plenty of turnouts along the Chief Joseph Scenic Byway that showcase some of the most beautiful natural wonders in Wyoming. Take in Sunlight Creek Gorge, or enjoy a view from the top of the pass that lets you see for miles and miles.

These wild and world-famous rapids on the Snake River are a dream come true for whitewater paddlers. From a short trail near Hoback Junction, you can watch the boats navigate the rapids all day long. Bring a picnic lunch and hang out on the wide, flat rocks and enjoy the show!
