Public Celebration Set for Sunnyside Trail at Sinks Canyon State Park on July 19, 2025

LANDER, Wyo. — July 16, 2025 — Wyoming State Parks invites the public to celebrate the opening of the new Sunnyside Trail at Sinks Canyon State Park on Saturday, July 19, from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the upper Sunnyside Trailhead near the southern boundary of the park.

This newly completed trail holds historic significance as the first bike trail developed within Sinks Canyon State Park. During the public celebration, Lander Cycling Club and park staff will host an informational table featuring swag from the Sunnyside Trail project, Wyoming State Parks, and Sinks Canyon State Park—available while supplies last.

“We’re thrilled to celebrate the completion of the Sunnyside Trail with our community,” said Sinks Canyon State Park Superintendent Jessica Moore. “This trail is a beautiful addition to our landscape and an excellent example of what partnerships and collaboration can accomplish. As the park’s first designated bike trail, it represents years of collaboration, vision, and hard work from local partners and trail advocates. We invite hikers, bikers, and nature lovers to experience what makes this place so special.”

The Sunnyside Trail project was made possible through the collaborative efforts of Lander Cycling Club, Wind River Outdoor Recreation Collaborative, Wyoming Game and Fish Department, Wyoming Office of Outdoor Recreation, Wyoming State Parks, and Wyoming State Trails Program, as well as dedicated volunteers and trail advocates from the local community. 

The trail is approximately two miles one way and is open to hikers and non-motorized bicycles. It features interpretive signage, stunning canyon views, and exciting mountain biking elements.
