Strange Wyoming Places You Must Visit

As we speed by on today's modern highways, we often miss the best that every state has to offer.

Here are just a few of the many things you won't see in Wyoming unless you slow down.

Killpecker Sand Dunes
Where to Find It: North of Rock Springs in Sweetwater County, Wyoming

Located in the Red Desert

North of Rock Springs in the Red Desert, Killpecker Sand Dunes are one of only seven “booming” or singing dunes worldwide. Listen to the sound that the sand makes on the hills.

Boar’s Tusk

Vibrant sunset at Boar's Tusk, a geologically formed landmark in Wyoming.

It is the core of an extinct and eroded volcano that protrudes out of Killpecker Sand Dunes’ otherwise flat landscape.

Devils Tower National Monument
WY-110, Devils Tower, WY 82714

A starry night at Devils Tower in Wyoming is a unique place to visit.

Sinks Canyon
Where to Find It: 3079 Sinks Canyon Rd, Lander, WY 82520

River running through a cave at Sinks Canyon State Park, a Wyoming landmark.
Sinks Canyon State Park, located just outside of Lander, is home to a disappearing river that tops the list of famous Wyoming natural attractions. The middle fork of the Popo Agie River (pronounced po-po-zsha) rushes out of the Wind River Mountains and flows until it suddenly curves into a large cave and descends underground, an area aptly dubbed “the Sinks.” Then, the river wondrously re-emerges about a quarter mile away in a large, calm pool called “the Rise.”

Until scientific tests using colored dye confirmed that the two are connected, no one knew that the water at the Rise was the same water that disappeared into the Sinks.

Tests also revealed that more water emerges at the Rise than is initially found at the Sinks, which remains an unexplained phenomenon.
