Names Hill State Historic Site
"Pinedale residents and visitors can reach Names Hill for a heritage outing that pairs well with a drive through the Upper Green River area. It appeals to history buffs and photographers alike."
Names Hill offers a quiet roadside stop with interpretive signs, scenic river views, and visible pioneer inscriptions in the rock. It is a meaningful place to reflect on the thousands of emigrants who passed through the Green River valley on their way west.
South Pass City State Historic Site
"Pinedale residents and visitors often make the drive for a scenic history outing. The trip pairs well with a broader tour of western Wyoming’s mountain landscapes."
South Pass City State Historic Site features more than a dozen restored and reconstructed historic structures, including the Carissa Mine, assay office, and general store. It is one of Wyoming’s premier destinations for learning about the 1860s gold rush and the people who built a community in a rugged high-country setting.
