Worland, Wyoming

 

Worland, the county seat of Washakie County, lies on the banks of Big Horn River in beautiful northwestern Wyoming.

Worland is named after one of its early settlers, and like much of Wyoming, its economy draws heavily on agriculture, although the wholesale and retail trades also play a role.

Residents take pride in the city's strong sense of community spirit. An annual rodeo in the nearby town of Ten Sleep and the city's own Hunterfest, held every October, are just some of the community events held in and around Worldand throughout the year. Each August, the city also hosts the Washakie County Fair, a celebration that includes everything from purple ribbon prizes for the best local produce, to Wyoming's own take on the traditional triathlon (here, known as "Boots, Hooves, and Wheels"), to pig wrestling, and a Wild West rodeo.

But the real draw in Worland has to be the surrounding scenery. In fact, the city offers easy access to three mountain ranges: the Big Horn Mountains to the east, the Absaroka Mountains to the west, and the Wind River Mountains to the south. Whether it's fishing, hunting, camping, or hiking, outdoor recreation is always available in and around Worland in the summer. Bighorn National Forest to the east of Worland, offers 189,000 acres (76,485 hectares) of wilderness and 1,500 miles (2,414 kilometers) of trails for the adventurous. And in the winter, cross-country and downhill skiing are available at nearby at Big Horn Ski Resort.
