Wyoming Range

The vast majority of the range is public land administered by the U.S. Forest Service as part of the Bridger-Teton National Forest and is a popular destination for hiking, camping, fishing, horseback riding, snowmobiling, hunting, and other activities.

The range contains numerous lakes and developed campgrounds, in addition to many wild and primitive areas.

The closest towns to the range include Big Piney, Marbleton, La Barge, and Kemmerer.

The Omnibus Public Land Management Act, which had already been passed by the Senate, was approved in the House by a 285-to-140 vote.

Leases that were issued in the 1,200,000 acres (4,900 km2) withdrawal area prior to passage of the Omnibus Public Land Management Act were not affected by the legislation.
