Explore Shell

Nestled at the mouth of scenic Shell Canyon, Shell, Wyoming is a hidden gem for outdoor lovers and those seeking small‑town charm or comfort and quiet outside outside of cell service.

Fishing & Camping
Shell Creek drops from over 11,000 ft in the Bighorns to basin level, offering prime trout habitat and peaceful campsites. The full‑service Shell Campground along US 14 provides tent, cabin, BBQ grills, and creek‑side views making it a perfect jumping‑off point for forest adventures.

Shell Falls
Just a short drive east on Highway 14, the 120‑foot Shell Falls plunges into Shell Canyon over ancient granite and sandstone. Trails and overlook platforms make it a memorable half‑day excursion.

Hiking
The Bighorn Mountains rise dramatically above town, offering wooded trails, wildflower meadows, and breathtaking overlooks. From short creek‑side strolls to backcountry treks, there’s something for every pace.

Local Flavors
After a day outdoors, cozy up at the newly revamped Shell Bar on Main Street, a friendly spot serving tacos, pizza, cold drinks, billiards, and shuffleboard in a classic Western setting. Just steps away, Shell Store Taphouse & Kitchen offers hearty fare, fresh‑baked goods, and groceries along with gifts and souvenirs.

Whether you’re casting a line at dawn, chasing waterfalls by day, or unwinding with good food and company by night, Shell is one place where the Wyoming spirit comes alive.
