When it comes to hikes and trails, it’s hard to top Wyoming’s wild mountains. Not only can you find the Grand Tetons and the Rocky Mountains of Yellowstone in the West, but you can find smaller peaks that are sure to impress just outside of our small towns and cities. Visit Rotary Park in Casper, Wyoming to find one of the most beautiful trails in the state that leads you straight to the base of Garden Creek Falls.

Casper, Wyoming is home to Rotary Park - one of the best city parks in the entire state. This isn’t your average playground by any stretch of the imagination.
