WYOMING ROCKHOUNDING
Rockhounding is more than just a hobby; it is a lifestyle. Rockhounding in Wyoming is a great way to get out and enjoy the states expansive landscapes and beautifully unique terrain. Wyoming happens to be among the best states in the entire country for rockhounding thanks to the sheer volume of prospective collecting sites and the impressive array of rocks and minerals to be found. Wyoming is perhaps most well known for its world-class National Parks like Yellowstone and Grand Teton. While you cant collect rocks within those parks, the fantastically complicated and gorgeous geology found within their borders is a testament to the complex geological history of the area. The relatively recent volcanic and metamorphic activity in Wyoming has given rise to many desirable and sought-after rocks and minerals. Wyoming Jade, the Wyoming state gemstone, is the most famous of the states geologic treasures. Wyoming also hosts diamonds, corundum (sapphire and ruby), opal, peridot, iolite (gem-quality cordierite), agate, petrified wood, and quartz crystals. Some Wyoming rock types used by lapidaries also include marble, silicified banded iron formation (BIF), fuchsitic quartzite, and gneiss.

Albany County - 84 Bow Fiddle Ranch Rd, Laramie, WY
There's a quiet understanding you get when standing in the Centennial Valley a feeling that this place has been providing for people and wildlife long before we arrived and will continue to do so long after we're gone. Bow Fiddle Ranch stretches across 1,050 acres here, with 1.5 miles of the Little Laramie River flowing cold and steady, born of mountain snowmelt high above.
Land
At 7,600 feet, the river is unhurried but strong, winding through cottonwood bottoms and willow banks as if it knows exactly what it's here to do shelter trout, water the meadows, and give those who stand at its edge a reason to pause. You see it in the deep runs, the shaded pools, the cut banks each a small reminder that good things can be both quiet and enduring. Around the river, the pastures and sub-irrigated meadows offer seasonal forage for livestock and cover for wildlife, not because someone told them to, but because that's the way it's always been. In this way, the land seems to understand its role: to sustain, to protect, and to give generously without asking for much in return.
Improvements
The main ranch house, first raised in the early 1900s, now wears the updates of modern living without losing its old soul. Three bedrooms and two baths, a detached garage enough to welcome family or guests with the ease that comes from knowing you've got a place to return to. The manager's or guest house, older still and dating back to the late 1800s, sits closer to the river. Its two bedrooms and one bath speak of simpler days, and its location near the heart of the operation makes it more than just a home it's a watchful post over the work and water that keep this ranch alive. The historic barn, once a tool of necessity, has been restored into a space where people gather. Weddings, retreats, reunions moments that remind us life isn't only about the work we do but also about the people we do it with. Around these, the ranch infrastructure stands ready: split-rail and barbed-wire fencing, working corrals, a newer shop and garage, and the outbuildings that quietly keep the operation steady year after year.
Recreation
The Little Laramie River is the kind of water that makes you slow down, whether you intend to or not. Recognized as one of the premier trout fisheries in the West, it offers a rare blend of beauty, solitude, and productivity. Its cold, clear flows, fed by mountain snowmelt, support strong populations of wild brown and rainbow trout, with many exceeding 16 inches and the potential for true trophy-class fish. Deep runs, shaded pools, and well-formed riffles provide ideal holding water throughout the season, allowing anglers to work a variety of approaches from drifting nymphs through pocket water to casting dries along undercut banks. This is the sort of river where the next cast could produce the fish you'll talk about for years, and where even an average day is something most anglers only dream about.
Beyond the river, the ranch's setting opens into the Medicine Bow National Forest and Sheep Mountain, country that holds a large elk herd offering genuine opportunities for bulls right on the property. Mule deer, whitetail, pronghorn, moose, and black bear share this landscape, making each outing into the hills an encounter with wild Wyoming. In the warmer months, miles of public land invite hiking, horseback riding, and ATV exploration through varied alpine and valley terrain. When winter arrives, the area shifts into a snow-covered playground for snowmobiling, cross-country skiing, and downhill skiing at Snowy Range Ski Area, just minutes from the ranch. No matter the season, the land and water here keep offering reasons to step outside.
Agriculture
There's a deep satisfaction in watching cattle thrive on grass you've tended, knowing the same cycles have played out here for generations. Bow Fiddle Ranch has long been a summer grazing ground, capable of supporting herds that stay strong through the season. Sub-irrigated pastures keep the forage rich, while the fencing, laid out with thought and care, makes it easier to move and manage the herd without fighting the land. The roads crisscrossing the ranch and the sturdy working facilities aren't just conveniences they're the tools that let you work with the seasons instead of against them. The cattle don't know it, but they're part of something steady, something proven. And that's a rare thing to say these days.
Region & Climate
The Centennial Valley is more than a backdrop it's part of the story. Known for its open views and deep ranching roots, this place carries a kind of heritage you can feel. Old homesteads still stand, weathered but upright, speaking to the grit it took to make a living here. But it's not all history the same mountains that tested the first settlers now offer a draw for anglers, hunters, hikers, and those who just want to breathe air that smells of pine and sage. Being this close to the Medicine Bow National Forest and the Snowy Range means there's always something to do, always a trail to follow or a ridge to climb. It's a place that's still honest with itself no need to pretend it's anything other than what it is.
Location
Bow Fiddle Ranch sits just twenty minutes from Laramie, close enough to have everything you need groceries, medical care, the University of Wyoming's games and performances but far enough that the noise stays where it belongs. The Laramie Regional Airport offers daily flights to Denver, and if you need the reach of a major hub, Denver International is about two and a half hours away. The town of Centennial lies just to the west, a small but welcoming stop on the way to the mountains. It's the kind of place where you can grab a meal, swap stories with someone you just met, and feel like you've known them longer.

Framed by pine and aspen, the three-story lodge blends rustic charm with mountain elegance. A longtime host to weddings, events, and family gatherings, it is now available for purchase for the first time in nearly half a century.
Land

Willows offer privacy and vibrant fall color, while dense pine and aspen forests surround the Lodge. The spring-fed Rosemary Lake provides a stunning backdrop for weddings and gatherings. Overhead, white-barked aspens rustle in the breeze, adding golden hues in autumn. Wild rose bushes, Indian paintbrush, wild iris, and fireweed dot the property. The 2.05-acre site is held under a USDA Forest Service permit, but with thousands of acres surrounding it, the setting feels truly boundless.

Ice fishing and other winter activities make Albany a year-round destination for outdoor recreation.
Hunters will also find ample opportunity in the region, which supports a range of species and habitats.

History
Albany, Wyoming is a quiet, unincorporated community with historical ties to the western expansion of the late 1800s and early 1900s. Its early growth was fueled by ranching, logging, and its proximity to the Union Pacific Railroad, which made it a natural center for industry and transport in the region. Surrounded by the rich resources of what would become the Medicine Bow National Forest, the town thrived during this era of frontier development.
Established in 1902, the Medicine Bow National Forest was part of a broader national effort to conserve public lands. Its name comes from the nearby Medicine Bow Mountains, which hold cultural significance for Native American tribes like the Arapaho and Cheyenne, who traditionally crafted ceremonial bows from the area's mountain mahogany.
As the local ranching and logging industries slowed in the mid-20th century, Albany evolved into a destination for outdoor recreation. Today, it serves as a beloved basecamp for snowmobiling, hiking, fishing, and hunting throughout the Snowy Range and the vast wilderness of the surrounding forest.
Location
Albany, Wyoming, a hidden gem nestled in the Laramie Range, offers an abundance of outdoor recreation possibilities throughout the year. While hiking, fishing, and camping are popular in the warmer months, Albany comes alive in the winter as a premier destination for snowmobiling. The area boasts an extensive network of groomed trails, providing hundreds of miles of riding through deep snow. The consistent and abundant snowfall in the region ensures exceptional conditions for snowmobiling enthusiasts, drawing visitors from across the country. Whether you're a seasoned rider or new to the sport, the awesome snow in the southeastern region of Wyoming makes an unforgettable experience.
Albany is 30 miles to Laramie Regional Airport, 70 miles to Cheyenne, and 125 miles to Denver International Airport.
