What to See and Do
Hiking and Biking
Oyster Ridge
This point-to-point trail is a great place to get some hiking on your RV trip. The trail rarely gets crowded, so you'll have plenty of time to enjoy the expansive Wyoming landscape around you all to yourself.
Length: 5.2 miles
Intensity: Moderate
Fishing and Boating
Weeping Rock Campground is on the western side of the Green River, and you have direct access to the water. Motorboats are prohibited, so fishing is usually good. Expect plenty of kokanee salmon and trout in the river. The camp is around one mile south of the Fontenelle Reservoir, and you can do even more boating there. The reservoir covers 8,000 acres and 56 miles of shoreline when full.
Climbing
The Kemmerer area has 24 total climbs. Trad routes are the dominant category here, with 18 different options. You can also find seven toprope climbs and three sport climbs. Visit the Pomeroy Wall for a route whose name was inspired by the rock band Alice in Chains; Angry Chair is a 5.6 top-rope route featuring fun slab climbing with fixed anchors already in place at the top.
Wildlife Viewing
Wildlife abounds in the wilderness of Wyoming, and land animals that you might see around you include elk, mountain goats, moose, mule deer, and pronghorn sheep. You might see American red squirrels and prairie dogs closer to the ground. Bird-watchers love Weeping Rock Campground for the chance to see geese, pelicans, and sandhill cranes. Anywhere at the campground, you have a chance to see bald eagles, hawks, owls, magpies, and robins.
Picnicking
If you visit Weeping Creek Campground, you get access to picnic tables, but check out Big Spring Picnic Site if you want another location. Take in a scenic drive while getting there up the Big Spring Scenic Backway on Forest Road #10062, and then, use the picnic tables, fire rings, and benches located there. If you want a short walk, head up to the beauty of the Big Spring, which comes out of a nearby hillside.
