About this spot

Boar's Tusk

The Boar's Tusk is a prominent geological formation located in the Bitter Creek watershed of Wyoming. It is a volcanic plug that rises over 400 feet above the surrounding landscape and is believed to have formed over 6 million years ago. The Boar's Tusk is a popular destination for rock climbers, hikers, and sightseers, and is considered a must-visit site for anyone traveling through the area. Visitors can enjoy a challenging climb to the top of the formation, which offers stunning views of the surrounding countryside, including the nearby Red Desert and the Wind River Range. Additionally, the Boar's Tusk is home to a variety of unique plant and animal species, including pronghorn antelope, coyotes, and sagebrush.

One of the unique features of the Boar's Tusk is its historical significance to the native peoples of the region. The formation has long been considered a sacred site by the Shoshone and Arapaho tribes, who believe that it was created by the Great Spirit as a symbol of strength and power. Visitors to the Boar's Tusk can learn more about this cultural significance at the nearby Sweetwater County Museum, which offers exhibits and educational programs on the history and culture of the region. In addition to its natural and cultural attractions, the Boar's Tusk is also a popular destination for stargazers, as the clear Wyoming skies offer excellent views of the night sky. Overall, the Boar's Tusk is a must-visit destination for anyone traveling through Wyoming, offering a unique and unforgettable experience for visitors of all ages and interests.

Responsible visitation & Leave No Trace

Know before you go
Check the operator's site (BLM, NPS, state agency, or private owner) for access rules, permits, and seasonal closures before driving out.
Stay on trail
Many points of interest sit in fragile ecosystems. Stick to marked paths to protect vegetation and prevent erosion.
Respect wildlife
Observe from a distance, never feed wildlife, and give nesting birds and denning mammals plenty of space.
Pack it in, pack it out
Take all trash, food scraps, and gear back with you. Remote sites often have no trash service.
Leave what you find
Don't take rocks, plants, fossils, or artifacts. Federal law protects cultural and natural resources on public land.
