Woods Landing-Jelm, WY

Tucked along the Big Laramie River about 27 miles southwest of Laramie, Woods Landing-Jelm is a tiny mountain community at the base of the Medicine Bow National Forest. Life here revolves around the historic Woods Landing Resort, a local gathering spot since the 1880s with its landmark log dance hall and general store. With barely a hundred residents scattered across the foothills, it offers a quiet, scenic lifestyle with prime trout fishing and forest trails right outside your door.
