Sweetwater County, Wyoming

Sweetwater Location Map Wyoming

You might think there’s not much to see in southwestern Wyoming, but Sweetwater County will prove you wrong. It’s the largest county in the state, in fact. The landscape here is wild and rugged, with vast stretches of high desert punctuated by towering buttes and deep canyons.

Rock Springs and Green River are the main towns, both with their own unique character. Historians will love exploring the county’s role in the Old West.

Ever heard of Butch Cassidy? He used to hide out here. The county’s also known for its mining. Fishing and hiking opportunities abound. And on clear nights, the stargazing is out of this world.
