Rock Springs, located in the south of the US state of Wyoming. The city is approximately fifty square kilometers in size and has almost 25,000 inhabitants. Rock Springs is almost two kilometers high and therefore belongs to the high mountains. The city was founded in 1862 as a home and workshop for miners and is still important for the economy because its environment produces oil and natural gas in addition to coal. With a long train network and mines, Rock Springs is home to no fewer than 56 different nationalities.
If you want to get to know the history of the coal mines, you must visit the Rock Springs Historical Museum, which shows the history of the city and the history of the coal mines and the multicultural heritage that resulted from it.
In the Western Wyoming Community College Campus, you can learn a lot about the region. The halls and surrounding facilities on the campus not only display the history of southwestern Wyoming. You will also become acquainted with artifacts and cultures from all over the world, including 5 life-sized dinosaurs whose fossils have been found in Wyoming. You will also come across the Moai statues of Easter Island and you will encounter some 125 animals from different continents in the Wildlife Museum, which are all set up or copied.
Admission is free everywhere, but keep in mind that the campus is only open during school hours.

After the start in Dubois, after 10 KM you have the opportunity to take some nice pictures at the viewpoint on the Wind River with the table mountain in the background. You regularly pass a river or keep driving along it for a while towards Lander. In Lander you have the possibility to refuel and buy something at a supermarket. Then we drive into Sinks Canyon State Park, this is a public recreation and nature reserve located in the Wind River Mountains, 6 miles southwest of Lander. At the 'Sinks' you should definitely stop for a closer look. The Sinks is a large cave where the flowing river flows in cracks and fissures in the bottom of the cave and disappears under the ground. The river appears again in a gorge in a large lake called "The Rise".
We continue to the Worthen Meadow Reservoir, this is a reservoir in the Shoshone National Forest. The reservoir is fed by Roaring Fork Creek. This environment also provides some beautiful photos.

We drive a bit back to the main road towards Atlantic City, where we reach The Sweetwater River Rest Area, The Sweetwater is a tributary of the North Platte. The river played an important historical role in mass emigration to the western United States in the nineteenth century. The spacious environment of the river is very sparsely populated.

We also stop at the South Pass Overlook, which is located along the National Historic Trail and contains six signs that focus on the early emigration period and the importance of the pass in American history. In Farcon we make a short stop for a drink and then drive along the vast grasslands to the end point in Rock Springs, where you can refuel past the hotel.

In this 4 star route you drive on beautiful good roads, a stop at Sinks Canyon you should definitely do.

History:
Rock Springs was the location of one of the worst ethnic massacres in the history of the United States in the 1880s.
But there is much more to Rock Springs than outrageous headlines. The close-knit community of immigrant miners from 56 countries laid the foundation for the city's culture.
