The windiest stretch of I-80
Rawlins is the county seat of Carbon County, on Interstate 80 between Laramie and Rock Springs. The stretch of highway around Rawlins, Elk Mountain and Arlington is famous for high winds and ground blizzards that close the road. Wind is the dominant peril here, but summer thunderstorms bring hail, and fires in the Sierra Madre and Medicine Bow ranges to the south can affect the area.
Railroad history
Rawlins grew as a Union Pacific town, and its downtown, the historic Ferris Mansion and the old Wyoming Frontier Prison reflect that era. Residential areas include older railroad-era homes, mid-century ranches and manufactured homes. Nearby Sinclair, Saratoga and Encampment add refinery, resort and ranch properties.
