Tucked up Swift Creek canyon in far-western Star Valley near Afton, one of the world's few "rhythmic" cold-water springs, gushing for minutes then sputtering to a near-stop on a loop, reached by a short hike.

Wyoming road trips & hidden gems.
The stops worth changing a travel day for in Wyoming — crowd-voted gems, events worth traveling for, and the public golf you can actually book. Curated by Roamward, the scenic road-trip planner.
Happening in Wyoming
Sturgis Motorcycle Rally 2026
Barely two dozen marquee events hit the whole country in a year — and Wyoming has one this August. Roamward builds the trip around it: the scenic route in, the detours worth a slack day, and when rooms sell out.

A roadside curiosity built in 1932 from nearly 6,000 dinosaur bones dug out of nearby Como Bluff, once billed as the "world's oldest building," now beside the Medicine Bow Museum in south-central Wyoming.
A natural sinkhole in the far-northeast corner near Sundance where Plains tribes drove bison for centuries, leaving thick beds of bones still being excavated, with an interpretive center right beside I-90.
A 60-foot pink-granite pyramid standing alone on the windswept high plains between Cheyenne and Laramie, raised to honor two railroad brothers at the old transcontinental line's highest point.
A quiet reservoir ringed by the Seminoe Mountains and rolling dunes in south-central Wyoming, reached by a lonesome scenic drive north from Sinclair that most travelers never take.
Just south of Lander in the Wind River foothills, the Popo Agie River vanishes into a limestone cave called the Sinks, then bubbles back up a quarter-mile downstream in a trout-packed pool called the Rise.
