Where the Waterfalls Are
Afton sits in or near the Wind River and Wyoming Ranges area of Wyoming. The Wind River Range is a long granite spine with hundreds of lakes and glacier-carved valleys, and its falls are mostly in rugged backcountry. On the eastern side, Popo Agie Falls lies above Sinks Canyon near Lander, reached by a steady climbing trail in the Shoshone National Forest. On the western side, Sublette County's falls are found near Pinedale and the Green River Lakes area, including Clear Creek Falls near the Green River. The Wyoming Range to the west, around Afton and the Middle Piney Lake area, adds falls in less-visited forest country. Long approaches and high elevations make many of these summer-only destinations.
