Wild Iris is one of the most beautiful sport climbing areas in the U.S. It's hard to beat a warm summer day spent climbing the white limestone pockets of Wild Iris. And to top it off, you'll belay comfortably beneath a peaceful canopy of aspen trees. Sublime. The climbs are mostly short, and occasionally sharp, but the climbing and experience is more than enough to compensate for these minor drawbacks. There are plenty of routes from 5.9 on up to 5.14, so most climbers will find more than enough to stay busy. Wild Iris is located at Limestone Mountain at an elevation of 9,000 feet. The climbing season begins when the snow melts (early June) and can last into Fall. The high altitude makes summer climbing pleasant, but be aware that the weather can change at any moment - wind and cold storms are common all summer. Many of the climbs face south, so also be prepared for warm temps! Remember this is Wyoming - land of the extremes! A number of primitive spots are available for camping, and an outhouse is located just up from the main parking lot. Closest supplies are located in Lander. The Lander Bar comes highly recommended for food and drink - it's a climbing tradition!

It's fairly quiet except when trucks are driving by which can be often at times. it's nice and open but when the wind shifted i got a smell from the refinery that was unpleasent. i don't believe i would stay here again unless i needed to. good for a short stop if needed. plenty of room.
TravelerIt's just a little area to pull out directly behind an oil processing facility
Why is this even on this app?!

OHV trail. Many side pullouts. Quiet, dusty, beautiful views On a butte so windy. One OHV passed before dusk on a Friday night. Otherwise all by myself. Accessible with fro t wheel Promaster. Go slow

Really nice view right by the water with the mountains in the distance. Saw lots of birds, pronghorns, horses, and a couple of jack rabbits. Easy road, good service, picnic area, overall all pretty barebones but nice spot!
TravelerWide open BLM land. This particular spot is easily accessible, although I couldn't tell how friendly other campers were and you have to drive over sagebrush to really pull off the road if the one or two real pull offs are occupied. I ended up driving around rutted and rocky roads off the ones that are on Google maps, trying to find a good pull off but the few there are were already occupied, some by folks that seemed to have been there for a while. Some of the side roads were really rough and I was lucky to make it through them in my Subaru, although any vehicle could handle the main road to the spot tagged here.
It's also really exposed to the wind and elements with no trees. It's up pretty high and there's not really any wind break from the landscape. Very cold in mid September but I'd imagine really hot at times in the summer. I may have hit it at a particularly windy time but it definitely nearly made me look for an alternative spot, of which options are limited in the area.
Aside from that it was beautiful. Moon gazing and sunset and sunrise, smelled heavenly of sagebrush. I wouldn't count on seeing wild horses here- I read that recently they've been pushed out but you can look for them further east.
ScoutNot level but tons of space. Several other rigs here and no one is close to each other. Getting over 400mbs on T-Mobile 5g

Nice area if you like mice. I always set traps out everywhere we go, caught 4 the 1st night, 7 the next. We’re leaving this rodent infested place!!
Scoutthere were only 2 other groups here when we arrived late last night. Didn’t get to see any wild horses but the sunrise was stunning. Pretty good Verizon phone service too
Guide
A great little spot with a wonderful view. Little bit or driving on a rough dirt road. Would go to this spot again, would not go back for rent camping though. Too windy
ScoutNot too busy, terrific views of the city below. Great experience, great site. Would recommend
ScoutA little bit more breezy and cool than down below. Lots of great places to pull over. Great views.
TravelerWe arrived at night and found a spot pretty easily. The next morning, we tried to venture outside and the mosquitos were coming in thick swarms. We ran back to the camper trying to avoid the ridiculous amount of cow patties. The dogs were snatching the dried ones up as we ran further exacerbating the trauma. 😂. Our one dog fell 10 feet into the Reservoir because the edges are not sturdy. We had a hard time getting him out as the walls are straight up. We were afraid he was going to get sucked into the spillway. Needless to say, go further than we did if you want to stay here. Not sure what it is like, but it's bound to be better.
GuideRequires a 2ish mile drive up a mountain road, but my transit van handled it fine. I camped right after memorial day, so there was a good amount of shell casings and broken glass. Sad that people don't clean up after themselves. This spot is really nice otherwise. The fire pits and wild horses are a nice touch.
GuideI had a great quiet night at this spot. When packing up to leave in the morning, an oil (?) company pickup truck stopped by and asked a few questions. I said I was just heading out - got the sense camping wasn't allowed. Probably best to leave first thing in the morning.

We planned to stay for at least couple of nights but following morning after with beautiful sunshine, clouds gathered and viscus thunderstorm arrived from nowhere. Blowed our seat cushions away to nearby creek, which had pretty strong flow and current. It started to feel unsafe and we quickly packed and left. It was a shame as the site and location was very nice.
TravelerIt was really windy the night we stopped, but it was nicer than a truck stop!
ScoutWe got here late so it was dark and hard to navigate, our bad. The west campground had “road closed” signs and was blocked but looked like some rigs made it in. We headed over to the east side. Not sure if we stayed in an official spot or not but there was was stone fire ring. Quite a bit of trash left behind. We took it with us on our way out.
Hard to find the facilities, there are many areas under construction. The view was beautiful. Lots of floating algae in the lake. Didn’t let the dogs swim just in case. Would come back in a pinch but with time, would plan to discover other areas.
Best part: the starts were amazing. There was a thunderstorm in the distance that made the sky look like a dance party. We saw an amazing moon rise!!! 😍
TravelerGreat views and quiet enough for a night. It does not have any services. Tmobile service is good. We had a little trouble finding a level spot. It is gravel and some parts are more compacted than others.
TravelerIf you are wanting bare bones this is it. There are toilet facilities which is nice, but it’s private, spread out, yet easy to access off the main road. The lake is beautiful as well. There are lots of bugs, but overall it was still a great spot for the night.
ScoutGreat stop at the top of a small mountain. Easy dirt road access to many camping spots. Att had great service, very windy and some road noise from the interstate. 10/10 would recommend.
GuideThis is a very quiet location. We saw over 20 wild horses. The wind and heat can be pretty intense at times. Beautiful sunsets.
TravelerI came from the north and did the scenic drive and was looking for the campsite. One camper was already parked and that was my signal. No signage. But you'll see stone fire rings. Beautiful views, but this particular night the wind beat the camper up all night.
ScoutSuper private area with great access to the reservoir. We swam most of the afternoon. My car battery died while I was there and there was absolutely no one around - thank goodness for a man named James who worked in the area. He had jumper cables and got me out of a tough situation. There's also service by the road, just not at the individual sites.
TravelerAmazing spot just 5 min off the main road. Sunset over a vast flat lake with expansive flat landscapes. A beautiful horizon of the mountain range. But 24 thousands flying bugs around the car. Definitely doing car sleeping and not tent.
GuideEasy sites to get to. If the White Mountain spots are taken this is a good backup. On the down side there is a lot of glass at this site so stay close to the road. Cool overlook into the town.
GuideLarge enough for multiple rigs. Cool overlook down to Green River. Quiet. If this site is full there are other areas to you can pull into. Dirt road with some washboards and ruts.
ScoutI love this spot. I live in Jackson, WY, and come to kiteboard here all the time in the summer. Good thermal wind you can rely on in the afternoon, wild horses, and a view of the Winds. Pretty remote and I am usually the only one here. If you are a kiteboarder and want to ride look me up!
