Mountain View

Mountain View has served as a ranching community in Wyoming’s Bridger Valley since the late 19th century. The settlement stands near Smiths Fork, amid open high-country terrain between the Uinta Mountains and the Wyoming Range. Livestock and irrigated farming remain central to this part of Uinta County, where cultivated fields interrupt the surrounding sagebrush country. Just north of town, Fort Bridger, established in 1843 by Jim Bridger and Louis Vasquez, recalls the era of overland travel and the later U.S. Army post. U.S. Route 189 connects Mountain View with the wider valley. Explore nearby webcam locations that provide complementary perspectives on Bridger Valley and southwest Wyoming.
