Casper Wyoming
Casper prides itself on a sense of free-wheeling adventure that inspires the name of Wyoming's Adventure Capital. Casper is a year-round destination that offers the very best in historical, recreational, cultural and entertainment experiences. You can spend the day fishing for trophy sized rainbow and brown trout that thrive in the historic North Platte River, or try your skills hunting the area's wide variety of game animals, including antelope, deer, elk, pheasant, and duck. Casper has five golf courses, including Three Crowns Golf Club - a Robert Trent Jones Jr. designed public course. There is also a variety of spectator sports, including the College National Finals Rodeo, the Casper Ghosts professional baseball team, and AIFL Wyoming Cavalry indoor football. Casper Mountain is a wonderland for those who love to explore its many hiking, biking, snowmobiling and ski trails. Other attractions include an archery range, the Braille Trail, picnic and camping sites, Garden Creek Waterfall, Crimson Dawn Museum, Hogadon Ski Area, the Nordic Trail Center and Beartrap Meadow - home to the Beartrap Summer Festival. Even the most devout city slicker will find a wide range of cultural opportunities here.
