Airport

We have a small grass field airport for private planes. By car, it is an hour to Laramie for a full service airport; an hour-and-a-half from Cheyenne and Casper; and three and-a-half hours from Denver. 

Other Transportation

Greyhound Buses make regular stops in Laramie, and Rawlins.

Train tracks run through on edge of town and are available for industrial or manufacturing transport use. 

Population Base

Current population of Medicine Bow is just under 300. 

Employee Base For Manufacturing

Distances are greater in Wyoming, and mean less to residents. The Potential Employee base for Medicine Bow includes the towns of Rock River, Laramie, Arlington, Elk Mountain, Rawlins, and Hanna. These areas are all within 1 hour travel time (reasonable commute time). We have no slowdown due to rush hour, so travel miles per hour is greatly increased here during commute times. Total population of all areas listed is around 25,000.
