About Carbon County
Carbon County, Wyoming stretches across the high plains and Medicine Bow Mountains south of Casper — a vast, wild landscape anchored by Rawlins and the resort town of Saratoga. The North Platte River's blue-ribbon trout fishing, the Hobo Pool hot springs, and the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest make Carbon County a four-season outdoor destination that rewards travelers who venture off the interstate.
