Alpine,
Wyoming,
at an elevation of 5,640’ is nestled against
surrounding mountains at the convergence of
three pristine rivers. The Grey’s, Salt, and
Snake Rivers merge into the Palisades
Reservoir, which provided incredibl e
vistas and water activities for all –
boating, jet skiing, fishing, water skiing,
and much more. The Grey’s River area offers
over 471,000 acres of virgin national forest
and summer recreation ranging from kayaking
and white water rafting to camping, fishing,
and countless miles of trails for hiking or
horseback riding. For the naturalist, too, a
large wetland and waterfowl viewing area is
only a few minutes’ drive from Alpine.
With our annual snowfall of
500”, winter sports abound as well;
snowshoeing, ice fishing, down-hill and
cross-country skiing are just a fraction of
what is available to the winter visitor
here. In addition, the quality of our more
that 150 miles of groomed snowmobile trails
earned Alpine “Top 5” in the West and “Top
3” in
Wyoming
from Snow West
Magazine’s 2002-2003 Winter Guide. Those who
want to watch
Wyoming’s
majestic wildlife can also visit the Alpine
Feed Ground, operated by Wyoming Game &
Fish, which draws more than one thousand elk
from December to April and is accessible
right at the edge of town!
