Tips from locals
Closest local access to the Wind River Mountains. See the famous phenomenon where the Middle Fork of the Popo Agie river “sinks’ underground only to emerge slightly down canyon at the “rise” where massive fish hang out in a gentle pool.
Sinks Canyon is a 2 hour drive from Rock Springs in Lander, WY but is a natural wonder definitely worth seeing. While there, check out the Popo Agie falls hike that is just up the road.
Sinks Canyon is a place where the Popo Agie River rushes down the mountain, and crashes into a cliff and disappears. It "magically " comes up from the ground a half-mile later, and continues on its way.
