The community of Wamsutter lies on the eastern edge of Sweetwater County along I-80. Wamsutter is a growing community located in the Great Divide Basin which provides a high desert climate and offers unique scenery, wildlife and geology. The area boasts the world’s only desert elk herd and the largest herd of Pronghorn antelope, the latter of which are commonly seen wandering through the community.
Getting There
Take Exit 173 off I-80 and you can travel into the desert north and south along County Road 23 to view wildlife, fossil beds, geologic formations, and herds of wild horses. Wrap up a day of exploring at the M & P café and sample from their large menu, which includes authentic Mexican food, or visit the Desert Bar to relax with a cold beverage.
