Rock River

The town of Rock River is a rural plains town born from the ashes of “Hell on Wheels.” Rock River was founded as the Union Pacific Railroad moved the railroad line west of the Rock Creek Station in 1898.

Located just 40 miles northwest of Laramie on Highway 30, about 250 residents call the agricultural hamlet home. Explore late 19th and early 20th century architecture in a small-town atmosphere hard to come by in today’s fast-paced world.

Spend a little time watching the antelope, find some peace and quiet, and watch the breeze as the Union Pacific Railroad trains chug along their route west.
