Why I Love Lander, Wyoming

June 29, 2010 by Shelli

Someone once told me, “Happiness is a time, not a place.” I thought that it was a pretty neat way of looking at things. Still, the people in a community also help facilitate happiness. This is true for my community.

And, I certainly find happiness due to the place in which I live. A place called Lander, Wyoming.  I’m not a great photographer, but here are many reasons I live in, and love, Lander:

Balsamroot and Table Mountain.
Relatively quick and uncrowded access to areas like this, the Cirque of Towers.
Frye Lake and Wind River Peak.
Limestone cliffs in Sinks Canyon. (Rock climber on route at left)
The Popo Agie River. Pictured here is the Middle Fork of the Popo Agie, from Bruce's Bridge.
Pretty easy access to places like Stough Creek Basin.
Hiking access to beautiful mountain lakes like this one, in the Deep Creek-Ice Lakes region.

About Shelli

Hi. My name is Shelli Johnson. I live on the frontier in Lander, Wyoming. I’m a wife, a mother, an entrepreneur, certified life/leadership coach, wellness coach, keynote presenter and inspired speaker, leadership development facilitator, personal development strategist, writer and adventure guide. This blog mostly includes stories about adventures and travel, but other passions are reading/books, technology, fitness, nutrition, and national parks, so you’ll find a wide range of articles here. I am founder of Yellowstone Journal and YellowstonePark.com, and NationalParkTrips.com, which was my first business. My current company, Epic Life Inc., is in its 7th year, and going gangbusters. If you’re interested in learning more about my current work, I hope you’ll jump over there and learn more about that. I have a more personal blog, more directly related to life and living and leadership, at YourEpicLife.com/blog. I’d love it if you’d also check out that collection of my writings. Thank you for stopping by! Finally, if you’d like to connect with me directly, please email me if you’d like to connect.
