## Description

RIW marks Central Wyoming Regional Airport at Riverton, deep in the Wind River Basin beside the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho reservation. United Express, operated by SkyWest, flies the field daily to Denver on CRJ200 jets under a state-funded capacity-purchase agreement covering Riverton, Rock Springs and Sheridan — a program whose funding is set to run out at the end of fiscal 2026. The airport handles no freight; at 5,525 feet, shipments travel about 190 km east by road to Casper, Wyoming's only cargo airport. Behind the town rise the Wind River peaks, several topping 13,000 feet.
