Sage is a ghost town in the far southwestern part of Lincoln County, Wyoming, United States.[1][2] US Route 30 is the major road, which leads north 19 miles (31 km) to Cokeville and east 25 miles (40 km) to Kemmerer. Wyoming Highway 89 runs west 4 miles (6.4 km) to the Utah border, then another 5 miles (8.0 km) to Sage Creek Junction, Utah. The Union Pacific Railroad passes Sage in the direction of Rock Springs to the east and Pocatello, Idaho, to the west.[3]

Sage lies at 6,332 feet (1,930 m) elevation,[1] just west over the Sublette Mountains ridge from Fossil Butte National Monument[3] in the Sage Creek valley.

The Overland Stage Route ran north through Sage from Fort Bridger.[3]
