Visitor's Comments
What are visitors saying about Pinedale, Wyoming?

Western Wyoming is a beautiful and varied place. From the breathtaking beauty of our Wind River Mountains, to the rolling sagebrush hills dotted with herds of antelope, to steep U-shaped mountain valleys and boulder strewn meadows. Those who visit here remember the wide open spaces, hearing the sound of the streams near their campsites in the early morning quiet, night skies filled with a million stars, and wonderful experiences in the great outdoors. Thanks to everyone who has written and shared photos! Below are some of the comments we received from visitors in the early years of Pinedale Online.

"My wildest imagination was far exceeded by what I saw in the web page on your community. Rivers, lakes, prairie, the Rockies, and a history that looks like it came out of an old west novel." -Florida


"Spent 3 delightful days early this week at our cabin at SBHO. My wife and I got in on cross country skis and had the whole place to ourselves. The new snow on Monday morning had clung to the trees for the first few moring hours which Green River Lakes and Square Top Mountain, photo by Terry and Ron Bungewas extremely attractive. Got to see a large (est. ca. 500) flock of Bohemian Waxwings above the Fremont Lake CG. Certainly was good to be back in Pinedale area. Especially appreciated the library allowing us to use their internet connection to vote in the Arizona primary!" - Arizona

"Your web site is one of the most complete sites I have found. This site answered EVERY question I could think of. Some of the information was about Square Top Mountain and Green River Lakes. Photo by Terry and Ron Bunge.questions I hadn't even dreamed of asking. The photography is stunning. My compliments to the photographer(s). This place is held in very high regard by my wife and me. We used Elkhart as entrance into the wilderness for a 10 day hike three years ago. It was a very enjoyable trip. The best experience was finding three (3) restaurants where we could get excellent Mexican food. Great place. Also good coffee!!" - Utah

Award for "The Best Gift Shop in Wyoming"
Moose Creek Trading Company in Pinedale, Wyoming

"We had trouble assigning a category to this wonderful spot. There are many good things to say about The Moose Creek Trading Company. We found it during an emergency stop during a late spring blizzard while passing through Pinedale, Wyoming.

We thought of giving the award to them for "Best Cafe in Wyoming", because of the atmosphere offered by its associated restaurant. We wanted an Egg Sandwich. That item wasn't on the menu, but they made us one anyway It was the LARGEST sandwich we had ever seen and was prepared on the sweetest, most delicious bread we have tasted in our lives. But "Best Egg Sandwich in Wyoming" didn't seem to do justice to this place. We pondered giving an award for "Best Restrooms in Wyoming". They were spotless and complete with furniture that made you want to stay in there for awhile.

We settled on "Best Gift Shop in Wyoming". The Moose Creek Trading Company has the look, smell and feel of a fine antique shop. Prices are reasonable and there are a variety of Wyoming related gifts.

Overall, it has become one of our favorite places and we guarantee we will be stopping again, every time we are in the vicinity of Pinedale.

The Wyoming Companion is proud to award The Moose Creek Trading Company in Pinedale, Wyoming as the "Best Gift Shop in Wyoming" for 1996-1997. "


"Our family spent a night at the Best Western Pinedale Inn on our trip home from Yellowstone. We fell in love with Pinedale. Such friendly people and a tidy town. Wrangler Cafe is a great spot., Fife's we have to come back for breakfast. You have good reason to be proud of Pinedale, thank you." - Illinois


"I was in Pinedale this summer, had a blast!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" - Wisconsin
