Miner's Delight is a BLM managed property that rests in the heart of what is known as the Continental Divide. The area pays homage to the region's role as a leader in the gold mining industry in the 19th century. Today, the city that once prospered here lies in abandoned ruins for families to explore. The property is earmarked by a rustic walking trail, an information kiosk, and several educational signs which provide important details about the area's history.

Miner's Delight is found just outside the town of Atlantic City. It is primarily comprised of the remains of a once-thriving mining camp. The first gold mining expeditions occurred in the late 19th century, with 1867 being the first time this precious mineral was unearthed on the grounds. Soon thereafter, a mining camp was built in the vicinity. It was named Hamilton City. In time, the camp and town were renamed Miner's Delight due to the prevalence of gold in that particular area.

In time, it was determined that gold mining was an expensive proposition that yielded more financial losses than gains, and all gold mining ventures were abandoned. The original mill ceased operations in 1874, and the town soon fell into great decline.

Over the years, several different people attempted to revitalize the camp, but each attempt was unfruitful in time. Today, all that remains are ruins such as rusted tools and other equipment.

Sinks Canyon State Park is a treasure trove of recreational activities for those that enjoy being out in the great outdoors. The property is home to a beautiful cabin that sits at the foot of the Wind River Mountain range. The canyon is impressive to behold and nicknamed 'The Sinks" for its unusual topographical construction. A rough and rugged climb to the mouth of the canyon, families who undertake the task will be treated to the unusual view of the river's disappearance just outside the opening.

Sinks Canyon State Park is incredibly scenic. From its waterfalls to the river to its mountainous terrain and more, there is lots to see at this beautiful park. Families should be sure to have a camera on hand for this expedition.

A number of wildlife species make this region their home, making it a great place to spot some unusual varieties of animals in their natural habitat. In season, lush wildflower cover blankets the ground in a rainbow of incredibly vibrant hues.

Among the most popular activities here are hiking, photography, and the viewing of wildlife.

The Museum of the American West is an interesting place whose primary mission is to provide a link between the people that once made this region their home. It is dedicated to the preservation of the history of central Wyoming and its role in the Wild West.

The museum was founded in 1998 and consists of both indoor and outdoor exhibits for families to enjoy. It focuses on information about the landscape and geographical features as well as the lifestyles of those that once inhabited the land.

Found on the grounds are many different interactive exhibits where families can learn more about the American West. The property also hosts cultural events throughout the year and educational experiences.

For more information about tours, hours of operation, scheduled cultural events and more, families should consult the museum's website.

A trip to Lander's Fremont County Pioneer Museum is always a great way to spend a day when on an RV vacation at Atlantic City Campground. The museum is dedicated to the preservation of local memorabilia which bears evidence of life in the region from its earliest origins to the early 20th century.

The museum's primary focus is the groups that once inhabited Fremont County. Tours are provided on a daily basis and walk visitors through the buildings that still remain on the grounds and that once featured prominently in the daily lives of area residents.

Among the buildings, families can explore include Lander's Mill, The Lander Hotel, The Carnegie Library, the Fremont County Courthouse, and the Lander Eagle Newspaper.

With so much to see and enjoy, families should come prepared to do a lot of walking.

For families that enjoy outdoor adventure, a trip to Middle Fork Trail will not disappoint. A hiking trail that is 12 km in total, this popular spot is considered a very challenging hike, making it a favorite place of those who enjoy a good workout.

Considered one of the hardest trails in the region, the landscape found en route is quite rough and rugged. Much of the trail proceeds in a steep downward trajectory. There are several spots where families can drive to access points, thus shortening the length of the overall hike.

Several different parking areas provide access points where shuttles move hikers to various locations along the path. The most popular entry point is found at the Worthen Meadows Parking lot.

Visitors to Middle Fork Trail should be prepared to do a lot of uphill climbs over terrain that is extremely rocky and that proceeds at a sharp incline before beginning its descent.
