One of the most overlooked towns in all of America is right here in Wyoming. Pinedale, in Sublette County, is the perfect mix of civilization and wilderness. If you’re a nature lover, you’ll find so many things to do in Pinedale that you may never want to leave! Set aside time this year to explore this breathtaking town on the edge of the Wind River Range.
The town of Pinedale is a charming and beautiful little community tucked into the foothills of the Wind River Range. If you love spending time outdoors, you'll fall head over heels for this nature lover's paradise.
Downtown, you'll find all sorts of small, family-owned businesses. Stay in a lodge in town for quick access to places like Heart and Soul Bakery, Wind River Brewing Company, and the Wrangler Cafe.
In the summer, you can explore the lake via boat for fishing and scenic trips. Fremont Lake is one of the deepest lakes in America, and the second largest lake in Wyoming.
Pinedale sits at the foot of the Wind River Range. This gorgeous mountain range is world-renowned for being home to legendary hiking and backpacking trails.
No matter your hiking experience, there are trails in the Winds for you. Easy hikes provide high altitude lake overlooks, and harder backpacking trails test your skills and pay off with remarkable views.
When the snow starts falling in Pinedale, the trails transform. There are hundreds of miles of marked and unmarked snowmobile trails just calling your name!
You'll find outfitters in town to help you plan your outdoor excursion, and you can even book guided hikes, climbs, and horseback riding tours from many of Pinedale's locals.
There are so many ways to enjoy Pinedale - it's no wonder this is a top destination all year long. Visit for music festivals and street fairs in the summer for a relaxing way to enjoy the mountain air.
