City insight: Rawlins
Rawlins is a city and the county seat of Carbon County in southern Wyoming, USA, with a population of 8,221 at the 2020 census. It was named for Union General John Aaron Rawlins, who camped in the area in 1867. The high plains climate is cold, dry, and windy, so late spring and early autumn are the best seasons to race.
