Things to do on the BTNF in Lincoln County

Check out the Periodic Spring, the only cold water geyser in North America.
Drive Greys River Road, which runs alongside its namesake river for almost 60 miles; it starts in Alpine and continues to Tri-Basin Divide, passing dozens of trailheads along the way.
Spend the night in a historic cabin: Both the Kemmerer and Greys River Ranger Districts have several cabins and former guard stations that the public can rent for the night.
Follow—literally—in the tracks of the Oregon Trail. The Big Spring Scenic Backway is a 68-mile scenic drive in the Kemmerer District. Parts of this drive were originally part of the Oregon Trail and today ruts created by the wheels of the wagons traveling the trail are still visible.
Raft the Snake River Canyon, an 8-mile stretch of class III-IV whitewater, on a guided trip.
Snowmobile in the Greys River District, where there is easy trail riding as well as challenging off-trail terrain for advanced riders with knowledge of avalanche safety. Check out our Sled Responsibly video for riding and safety tips.
