Once a coal-mining hub, it still carries that heritage with pride, while day-to-day needs are close at hand in nearby Rock Springs, about a short drive away for shopping, dining, and healthcare. The landscape is classic high desert—sagebrush steppe, distant buttes, and unforgettable sunsets—making backyard evenings as appealing as weekend adventures.
