Might also consider the area around Lander, near the Windriver Mountains. Sinks Canyon, about 6 miles out of town is a beautiful place with the Sinks, where the river disappears into a cavern and then reappears about 1/4 mile downstream into a pond that has many large fish in it that you can feed, just not fish for them. Then up the switchbacks over the loop road to South Pass and over to Atlantic City, Wyoming not New Jersey, and South Pass City, which was once considered for the Capital of the State. Then you can go out to the Red Desert, the largest un-fenced area in the country along with wonderful vistas and wild horses galore. Then full circle to the Sweetwater. While in the Red Desert you can see the remnants of the Morman, Pony Express, Oregon and other trails that brought thousands of folks from the east out west. Then, once back in Lander, you can take the highway north to Grand Teton and Yellowstone National Parks and drop down to Cody for more wonderful sightseeing. Hope you have a great trip.
