What it’s like
The place. Ten Sleep is a very small town in Wyoming, where neighbors are likely to know one another by name. Winters are cold, with December the coldest month and a good deal of snow through the season, while summers turn properly warm by July. Precipitation is on the light side overall, much of it arriving as snow.
Work. Residents work mostly in schools, hospitals and social care, in farming, forestry and mining, in shops, and in manufacturing. Across Washakie County, the biggest workplaces include the Washakie County School District, Wyoming Sugar Company and Washakie Medical Center. The county's job market has held steady, with unemployment low and job numbers edging up slightly over the past year.
Things to do. The mountains are the draw here. Cloud Peak Wilderness is a protected area, and Lake Helen is a lake, both a longer drive away. The James T. Saban Lookout is a tourist attraction, also a longer drive from town.
