Green Mountain is located in southcentral Wyoming about ten miles south of Jeffrey City and about 50 miles northwest of Rawlins (as the crow flies). It provides the only developed recreation facilities in an alpine setting in a several hundred square-mile area. The best access route to Green Mountain is Green Mountain Road (BLM Road 2411), an improved gravel road which intersects U.S. Highway 287 about six miles east of Jeffrey City.
