Rockhounding Wyoming

Although a little outdated, the locations are accurate and easily accessable. The book however is a little thin, in respect to the amount of places to go rock hunting, but it covers the state. So no matter where you go in Wyoming the book offers somewhere to go rockhounding.

WOULD LIKE TO VISIT AUTHOR!

I HOUNDED ROCKS ALL OVER CENTRAL/WESTERN WYOMING ALL SUMMER IN 2004...COLORED PICS OF WHAT TO LOOK FOR AND WHAT KEN HAS COLLECTED WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT...WILL TRY TO FIND HIS # AND CALL HIM AS I COULDN'T FIND 'QUEBE SABE' ROAD BY SHOSHONI TO FIND AQUAMARINE!!!! I WENT 3 TIMES! BUT OVER ALL EVERY SITE WE DID VISIT WAS DOWN TO A 'T' FOR EXACT LOCATIONS...IN PROCESS EVEN FOUND MY OWN PLACES!

2003 summer review

I have found this book to be a useful tool in exploring sites in Wyoming. I would suggest anyone traveling out to Wyoming read the introduction fully. You do need to prepare for the wide open spaces. The book is copyrighted in 1996 so it's 7 years old at this writing. Many things have changed in the past seven years. Roads have been closed by both BLM and the forest service. Trail signs have been changed or vandalized. If I was traveling a long distance to collect I would check with local rock shops to see if the desired sites were still open. If I could change anything it would be to include GPS coordinates in the driving directions. At least for the main turn-offs and the main site starting point.
