Positioned within the scenic Bridger Valley of Uinta County, this facility offers an expansive, ground-level layout designed to handle rural and highway transit demands.

Visitor & Driver Tips

Drivers visiting during winter months should exercise standard Wyoming winter travel precautions: check road conditions via WYDOT (Wyoming Department of Transportation) before setting out, as winter wind and blowing snow along the I-80 corridor can impact visibility. Because this is an open-sky lot, ensure your vehicle is prepared for sub-freezing temperatures in winter and clear the windshield before pulling onto WY-413. When parking oversized combinations or trailers, pull straight through designated open lanes to maintain generous maneuvering clearance for incoming motorists.
