Off Campus Amenities

Rock Springs and Green River offer a world of adventure and small-town charm just minutes from campus—perfect for Western Wyoming Community College students looking to unwind and explore. Enjoy scenic hikes and mountain biking at Wilkins Peak or along the Greenbelt Trail, float or fish the Green River, or take a weekend trip to the stunning Flaming Gorge Reservoir. Downtown Rock Springs adds a vibrant cultural scene with local coffee shops, restaurants, boutique shopping, murals, and galleries. Don’t miss community favorites like the Farmers Market, Art Underground Gallery, and live music during summer events in Downtown’s historic district. From wild horses and petroglyphs to concerts and coffee crawls, there’s always something to do off campus in Sweetwater County.
