Southern Wyoming

High-country water beneath the Snowy Range

Lake Marie, granite ridges and rushing alpine water make this one of southern Wyoming’s most rewarding scenic detours.

Lake Marie

A roadside view that feels far from the road

Lake Marie sits in the Snowy Range’s high country, where mountain weather, lingering snow and sharp light can change a scene in minutes.

Use designated parking and trails, prepare for elevation and check seasonal highway conditions before building the route.
