About Opal

Opal is a tiny, quiet town in southwestern Wyoming's Lincoln County, surrounded by wide-open ranchland and big western skies. The community got its start in the 1880s as a railroad stop and took its name from an opalized stone found by an early visitor. Today, it offers a peaceful, remote way of life with a tight-knit rural feel, while the nearby town of Kemmerer provides convenient access to schools, groceries, and everyday essentials.
