918 Elk St - C

Kemmerer, Diamondville, Opal, and the nearby communities of Fontenelle, Oakley, Fossil, Elkol, and Leefe sit in southwest Wyoming’s high-desert basin, framed by broad valleys and mountain views. The climate brings cold, snowy winters and dry summers. Fossil Butte National Monument, just east of Kemmerer, preserves a remarkable landscape of ancient fossils, while local parks and open spaces offer room for walks and outdoor recreation. In town, dining and coffee options are practical and locally oriented; shops and services are concentrated around Kemmerer and Diamondville. Historic storefronts and the area’s fossil heritage give the towns a distinctive sense of place, with a low-key arts and nightlife scene. Driving is the most useful way to connect the scattered communities and reach trails, landmarks, and regional services.
