Blasting Through The Wind River Canyon
Blazing a railroad through Wind River Canyon in the early 1900s was essentially hand-painting a snake’s skeleton—rugged crews, dynamite, burros, and sheer drops that would make a circus tightrope look tame. Those hardworking souls carved tunnels out of granite with picks, shovels, and sweat, all while exotic voices from Swedish, Italian, and Japanese laborers echoed between canyon walls.
Join us as we celebrate these hard working men - and donkeys - that laid track in one of Wyoming’s most remote and rugged canyon!
