Golf in Rawlins

Rawlins is the Carbon County seat on I-80 in south-central Wyoming, a community shaped by its position on the transcontinental railroad and the surrounding high-plains landscape. The Wyoming Frontier Prison, the state penitentiary from 1901 to 1981, is now a museum that gives Rawlins a tourist draw unusual for a small industrial city. Carbon County's Wind River Range boundaries, antelope herds, and extensive public lands provide outdoor recreation opportunities for residents who find value in the area's remoteness. The red sandstone formations east of town are among Wyoming's most striking geological features. The Continental Divide Trail passes through the Rawlins area, and the broad sagebrush basins and eroded badlands of Carbon County provide dramatic walking and cycling terrain for long-distance trail enthusiasts.
