If you’re looking for a great way to wrap up summer while learning more about Wyoming, make plans to attend the South Pass City Scavenger Hunt! This year, they’re doing it socially-distanced, which means you and a team of 10 people (friends and family) can embark on the hunt and uncover so much history close up. Read more about how you can play along at this Wyoming state historic site below!
South Pass City was one of the most important mining towns in Wyoming history, and now it sits as a preserved and historic ghost town.
Every year, Friends of South Pass City host events to raise money for their preservation efforts. This year, they're hosting a socially distanced South Pass City Scavenger Hunt!
You and your team of 10 searchers will explore the whole town, following clues that will take you through the English Tunnel, through the abandoned buildings, and across the Altoris Gulch.
The South Pass City scavenger hunt takes place on August 29, 2020. Team tickets cost $50 and cover a maximum of 10 participants. Sign up online at www.southpasscity.com or call 307-332-3684.
