Top Things to Do in Lander, Wyoming, Lander, Wyoming (B)

Lander is a small city located in West central Wyoming near the Wind River Mountain range and less than three hours from Jackson. The city of Lander is an outdoor mecca.

As you might guess, the biggest thing to do in Lander is to spend time outdoors. Take your pick: hike, mountain bike, climb, fish, four-wheel drive, paddle board, kayak, or horseback ride.
