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. I’m Shelli Johnson. I live on the frontier of Wyoming, and my office is a 100-year-old Wyoming Sheepherder’s wagon parked alongside the Popo Agie River. Travel and adventure are among my biggest passions.

I’m an Entrepreneur, Wilderness-Inspired Keynote Speaker, Author of Breathtaking: A Field Guide to Living Your Epic Life, and Executive Coach, Leadership Facilitator, and Wilderness Guide.

I’m also a wife and a mother. I’m married to Jerry, my husband of 34 years, and we have three wonderful sons–Fin, 19, Hayden, 24, and Wolf, 26–who are off forging their own paths.

I’ve been finding my own way for more than 32 years. I’m in my 16th year of operating Epic Life Inc. During the last 15 years, I’ve worked with hundreds of individuals, leaders, teams, and organizations.

Much of my play and work includes travel and adventure, which I share about extensively on this site.
