Your Adventure Awaits
With over half of Wyoming’s 98,000 square miles open to the public, outdoor recreation is a big part of life here. As more people head outside, the Wyoming Office of Outdoor Recreation launched the Pathfinder program in 2021 to promote safe and responsible recreation and to connect people with the state’s incredible outdoor opportunities.
Pathfinders are stationed across the state to assist visitors, residents, and local businesses/organizations. They offer accurate information on hiking, camping, fishing, hunting, local events, and recreation rules. They’ll even help you plan your next adventure.
Wyoming is proud to lead the way with this one-of-a-kind outdoor concierge service. Let a Pathfinder help you explore responsibly and make the most of your time in the outdoors.
