Blaze Your Own Trail
From the ruts of the Oregon Trail to the heights of Casper Mountain, here you can chart your own path and embark on your own adventure. Step back in time and experience the Old West just as the pioneers saw it on a covered wagon ride with Historic Trails West and delve in to their westward journey at the National Historic Trails Interpretive Center. A short 15-minute drive will lead you up the winding round to the top of Casper Mountain, where you’ll be immersed in a dense forest, surrounded by breathtaking vistas and what feels like never-ending trails. Hike, mountain bike or trail run through over 50 miles of marked trails that twist and turn through our vibrant Ponderosa Pines. In the winter, the mountain transforms into a snow-draped wonderland where 26 miles of groomed trails are waiting for snowshoers and cross-country skiers to blaze their way through the fresh powder.
Taste the West
Your outdoor explorations in Casper are best paired with mouth-watering meals and distinct, local brews, and with a culinary scene as diverse as our recreational opportunities, we have something to satisfy every craving.
