What this site is

This site is an independent guide for visitors and residents who want to understand Lincoln County, Wyoming. It covers the towns, the main things to do, Fossil Butte National Monument, Star Valley outdoors and the history of the county.

What this site is not

It is not an official website. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or operated by any county, town, state or federal office, and it does not offer official services, notices, forms, permits or records. For official matters, use the websites of the relevant public bodies. Nothing here is legal, medical or safety advice.

Where the facts come from

Facts come from public sources of recognised institutions such as the National Park Service, the Forest Service, Wyoming Game and Fish, WyoHistory.org and the U.S. Census Bureau. Each page lists its sources. Where a number differs between sources, we use the more conservative wording or leave it out. Opening hours, fees, road closures and rules change, so always confirm them with the managing agency before you travel.

Our approach

The design of this site borrows from geology: every topic is a layer, and each layer rests on the one below. We keep advice that is our own opinion clearly labelled as a suggestion.
