If you're looking for an authentic Wyoming wonderland,...

...you have to make time to experience winter in Sinks Canyon State Park.

The centerpiece of this famous Wyoming park is the Popo Agie River.

As it winds its way through the majestic Wyoming mountains, it ends up at a spot that has become famous for its odd features.

"The Sinks" is the spot where the river changes course slighlty and heads underground.

Instead of continuing over the landscape, the river dips below the rock into a cavern.

Once there, it continues to flow before re-emerging at what is called "The Rise," one of the most scenic places in Wyoming.

The Sinks and the Rise are two must-see spots.

But be sure to take the time to check out the scenic overlooks, hiking trails, and beautiful vistas you'll find throughout this beautiful winter landscape.

Believe it or not, there are accommodation options here too!

If you're looking for a quiet or romantic getaway, you can rent one of the park's heated yurts and spend a few nights in the heart of the mountains.

This includes snowshoeing, cross country skiing, or just relaxing under the stars.
