I stopped by the historic general store in Aladin, and it was like stepping into a different era. This charming store has been around for ages, proudly holding the title of the oldest general store in the area. As I walked in, I was greeted by the nostalgic feel of the original old post office, which has been preserved and still operates today. The store is a treasure trove of essentials and surprises. From bullets for your firearm to snacks, drinks, and everyday necessities, they've got everything you might need in this tiny town of just 15 residents. The store's role extends beyond just shopping – it's a gathering place where locals and visitors can connect. The on-site bar is the perfect spot to grab a refreshing drink and take a break. The friendly staff and old-school ambiance make it a unique experience that's worth stopping for. Whether you're passing through or a local, this general store is a must-visit for its history, charm, and sense of community. *Tips:* - Stop by the post office for a unique mailing experience - Explore the aisles for some unexpected finds - Grab a drink at the bar and chat with the locals *Recommended for:* History buffs, those looking for a unique experience, and anyone passing through Aladin

This place is awesome. Blast from the past. No BS here ! Authentic. Stacey runs the place. She’s awesome. She’s does double duty. Bar tender and store manager!! A must visit. If you are a lefty. Don’t advertise it. Won’t be welcome. Down to earth place. And great people.

Rustic stop while at 2025 Sturgis Rally. Cold beer, good food and lots of bikers. Store is a pretty neat stop with lots of touristy stuff. Many humorous t-shirts and nickknacks, key chains, magnets, rocks, and so on. Expect tourist prices. Was a fun place to get off the bike and rest a while before getting back on the road. Will be back again next year!

This is a great store, which was pretty unexpected to see in a town of such a small size. There are plenty of very nice souvenirs and clothes. The owner Trent is very friendly and welcoming.

Sad that it was closed when we passed by, this was our 3rd time visiting and this time we brought a friend from Spain but oh well, it was closed.

Long live places like this. I grew up going to stores like this in Virginia and sadly most are gone now. Thanks to Walmarts and dollar stores they are fading memories. This place is definitely worth a visit if you are in the area. If you still have an old country store near where you live, support them and keep the small businesses in business!
Todd R — Google review
On our way to Devils Tower we stopped at this little store in Aladdin. There was a population sign right next to the store that said Pop 13. Our family vacation group suddenly realized we had doubled the size of the town just by showing up. What fun. There were snacks and friendly people inside the store, cold drinks and a significant number of souvenirs to choose from. All in all it was a positive stop, but we wouldn't have gotten gas at the pump because at that time it looked like original equipment.

We were driving by and decided to stop in for a quick tour. Josh, our guide, was a very smart young man and walked us through the site. We really enjoyed learning about the history of Vore buffalo jump and recommend to all ages!

🤍 Jackie was such an amazing tour guide! She was EXTREMELY knowledgeable and fun to listen to! We loved hearing all her knowledge, the history on this site, we discussed theories and thoughts 💭 📝 These pics don’t do the tour Justice. Hearing them give you the full history in person is where it’s at! It’s worth it! 🦬 Seeing the butcher site in person is a really cool experience. Definitely stop in and check it out. Their gift shop is full of things to choose from. This site is truly incredible to see and hear about the history dating back umteen thousand years ago!

We were happy to make this stop from Deadwood on our way to Devils tower. We were not aware of the history here it's a small location but awesome to see the gentleman that gave us a tour is the owner he has a lot of history here small museum and we were able to enter the area's of the actual diggs for bison fossils. Amazing stories here. To get to the fossil u have to be able to walk down to the location just an ( fyi ) in case of mobility difficulties .
Connie J — Google review
Well worth the detour off the highway. Dedicated bunch of volunteers who offered so much information. Asked for a small donation when we said we could not stay for the whole tour down j to the site (45 minutes). But she took us out to the sink hole and explained how the. Native Americans had used the site to hunt bison.
Alexandra M — Google review
We stopped in on our way through the area, Josh our tour guide was very knowledgeable and informative. This place is rich with Native American history. An absolute must see if you have an interest in Native American history. Don't just drive by, stop in a learn a few new things. Thank you Josh for being our tour guide today. You really would make an amazing Park Ranger.

Anatoly was a great tour guide. This was our second time to Vore Buffalo Jump, and it is a gem! Highly interactive, great for teens and adults. Requires some walking down and up hill, but the paths are paved, and almost all of it is wheelchair accessible. Highly recommended to anyone in the Black Hills/Devils Tower area.
Christine M — Google review
They offer different tour options, from self-guided to guided. The guided is $9/person and well worth it. Our guide was a local, history majoring student from the university and did a great job with the tour. The tour includes three parts. First, you look at the hole from above and learn about the technique. Next, you go into the tipi museum to see maps and learn more about the tribes and the process. Finally, you head down to the dig site, which was my favorite part. Here you see lots of the bones and other artifacts, as well as learn more about how all the things the bison were used for. This place was definitely worth the nine dollars and was an interesting leg stretch during a long car trip. The whole guided tour takes 30-45 minutes depending on how many questions you ask. Beware: going to the bottom of the sink hole must be done by foot. There is a paved trail going down, but it is steep and I imagine it would be quite difficult to get a wheelchair up and down it safely.

Northeast Wyoming Welcome Center

Visitor Centers
Very awesome to see the fantastic petrified wood specimen they have!! And the information boards were informative and interesting!! I came just around the closing time, but I did say hello to the sweet gal as she left!! She apologized and I told her of course I completely understand, no worries whatsoever, definitely go home and be with family!! She was very sweet!! ❤️‍🩹 I wandered around a while reading placards and that was my own fault that it was time for her to head home when I finally walzed up to the door anyway!! Haha!! But the restroom area remains open, and it is stocked with flyers/information/tourist mags, and WY maps!! All I really wanted was a WY map anyways!! It was definitely a great surprise to see the petrified wood and the bronze wildlife sculptures though!! There is a cougar/puma out front, and I didn't catch the artist, but it was fantastic!! And, the fawns near the door are so lovely too!! They even tricked my dog for a moment and he was not sure if they were going to run away from him!! Hahaha! (Not saying he's the #1 brightest fella all the time 😆 he's still, pretty much just a dog-brain!! Hahaha!!) It was quite funny though!!

A total gem in this town—there was so much to see and lots of info available on the many artifacts. I was on the fence about bringing our kids (7 & 10) inside, but they had a very entertaining dress up chest for the kids to try on period clothing, a saddle they could sit on, and a “dig” table where they found really cool hidden items. Well-organized and 100% worth the stop. Check out the gift shop in the lower level!

After years of fundraising the museum was able to move into the old highschool. Be aware there is now a $5 fee to visit, it is not free anymore.

A Must-See when traveling through Sundance, WY. The museum has an amazing collection and the downstairs gift shop has some beautiful items.

After our visit to Sundance, we love this small town. And the museum in the old school building is wonderfully equipped and furnished. The highlight is the courtroom where the Sundance Kid was sentenced. Don't forget to visit the art and museum shop in the basement. Once again, many thanks to the lovely staff and the museum director, who gave us a personal tour. We will definitely be back, and send our best regards from Germany to Sundance.
Dominique B — Google review
What an amazing museum! A lovingly assembled collection of artifacts from the area has been turned into a storyline that describes what was life like here. Even the building itself is a 100+ years old school building that was state of the art when it was built, and still looks quite impressive on the outside as well as on the inside. Even the courthouse furniture has been preserved and arranged to show the layout of the courtroom of the times long past. Highly recommended to stop and enjoy.
Michael — Google review
Awesome museum. The staff was helpful and informative, knew a lot about the history and local area. This place was filled to the brim, and much larger than you would think going in. You could spend about an hour here if you took your time. The majority of the pieces were donated by local pioneer families, which just adds to the authenticity. The museum will soon move to the schoolhouse on the side street by sometime around february. Great spot.
Nolan C — Google review
Little County museum well worth at least 3 hours. The Sundance kid was tried in this building and they have the original courtroom furniture.

We stopped in for a few beers and the bar was quiet. We thought we were only going to have one but the bartender, Darnell, was so nice and friendly that we stayed a few hours. She made our night. 100 plus dollars later, we met really nice people, played pool and machines, danced and had a blast. Thank you Darnell, your a sweetheart.

Spearfish Canyon State Nature Area is a picturesque destination with a scenic drive along 14A, offering breathtaking views of Spearfish Creek and its beautiful waterfalls. The area provides opportunities for various activities, including picnicking under the tree canopy, hiking along the creek to see the waterfall, and observing fish in the creek. It's also an ideal spot for families as kids can enjoy playing in the water while exploring nature.
A beautiful canyon to drive through, and this is a good stop. There are many short trails to hike along and several waterfalls to visit which are fairly easy to access. There is some good lodging and a restaurant here, too. Plan on 2 or 3 hours here to hike the trails and see the waterfalls.

Here’s a glowing review of Spearfish Canyon Nature Area and Roughlock Falls you can use: ⸻ Spearfish Canyon Nature Area and Roughlock Falls are absolutely breathtaking! This entire area feels like stepping into a hidden mountain paradise. The scenic drive through the canyon is stunning, with towering limestone cliffs, dense forest, and a peaceful creek winding through it all. Every turn offers a new view that’s worthy of a postcard. Roughlock Falls is a true gem. The walk to the falls is easy and accessible, making it perfect for all ages and fitness levels. The pathway is well-maintained and winds through serene woodland with plenty of spots to stop and soak in the beauty. When you reach the falls, the sound of the rushing water and the surrounding canyon walls create a magical, tranquil setting that’s hard to beat. Whether you’re into hiking, photography, wildlife spotting, or simply enjoying nature at its finest, this is a place you’ll never forget. Highly recommend making time for it while exploring the Black Hills!
Daniel M — Google review
Simple dirt trail, gradual climb, sound of water most of the way. Many parts of the trail were shaded. Pretty short hike up. Iwas a bit disappointed in the fall, especially after I read it was one of the most spectacular in the state. The upper section of the fall is more interesting than the lower, and the additional hike to it is steeper but paved. Children and old folks all out doing the hike. The trail was busy. No water to drink in the area. Rough benches for sitting are along the way. Vault toilet at trail head parking lot.

State park

Lakeside area for fishing, birdwatching & camping, plus a full-service marina with a general store.
Was very well kept and clean, aside from one of the bathrooms running out of paper, says my old lady. Tent camp sites are a little walk downhill if your at tatanka sites, but your camping so get over it! Lake is quite in the mornings and afternoons with respectable boaters to lake fishing.

Great state park! Clean & well-maintained in a beautiful area. Staff could do a better check of camping cabins as they were a bit dirty but overall a great trip.

We spent a few hours at Keyhole State Park, looking for a good place to hike. We hiked around the lake via the Beach Trail and then drove up the road to hike the Little Keyhole Trail over and near the dam. These were both short trails, but made for a nice afternoon excursion.

Visit August 2021, Cabin 1: Beautiful campground with amazing views of the reservoir all around. Very quiet with minimal human or animal noises. It was a bit of a drive (too far to walk) to the showers but very clean and in the open. There was an outhouse nearby that we could use throughout the day. IMPORTANT NOTE: Showers were coin operated. Bring quarters or cash for exchange machine. We stayed in a cabin on the shoreline. Very peaceful and the perfect location to look out at the water or walk the shoreline. We swam at the beach for awhile and were the only people there. The sunsets from the beach were SPECTACULAR! We really enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this state park! Nearest gas station is a long drive away too. Come prepared with enough ice or build the drive to get ice into your itinerary.

This place is amazing!!! My family has camped here twice and go fishing here. But this was my first and my goodness, nature is a beautiful thing🥰 Try to be careful on where u reserve though. Some designated tent sites are too small if u have a big tent. We were at the Tatanka section. They also have cabins. I highly recommend it here. Also, on a side note, for the bathrooms, they keep them pretty clean and actually smelling good😄
Alex M — Google review
Beach was small and there were lots of weeds in the sand. The kind of weeds that have hard branches that poke through your shoes. The views were beautiful at sunset. The beach was shallow which made swimming awesome! The park itself was weird because we had to take a gravel road for almost an hour to find the park. When we got there, they said you could only book a camp site over the phone or online. We use Roger's phone carrier as we are Canadian and there was no network at all. Eventually they let us book at the toll booth but it took a while to convince them. It was $33 USD to tent camp for one night with no hookups. They have no convenience store anywhere in the park. There is a restaurant at the marina but it was hard to find parking and you would have to walk through a bunch of private cabin trailers to get there. We skipped it. Campsite was quiet and not very occupied. Lots of stars. We stayed at the Homestead campground and there was a firepit, but nowhere to get wood that we were able to find. Cement picnic tables which were way more practical than traditional wood picnic tables.

What a cool little bar/pub in Rochford! The young lady behind the bar was sweet and friendly and the patrons were all in great spirits. Lots of character here, outside seating area was great too, neat place, don't miss it if you're nearby!

I took a wrong turn on my motorcycle riding back roads on my way the Sundance, Wyoming. After riding about 10 miles of gravel roads I came across a cross roads where the bar and grill was. They were very friendly and helpful getting me back on route. I had lunch while I was there which was just average. They had an amazing selection of soft drinks to choose from. Almost like a soft drink bar. The decor was exciting and kept you engaged the entire time. They still use a wood burning barrel heater in the winter which I loved to see.

Oh my gosh! We found this little gem when we got lost today while riding our touring motorcycles. You feel right at home from the minute you walk up on the porch! Everyone is friendly and the appetizers were great. There is an added extra next door, The Happy Dog Cafe for ice cream and gifts. If we make it back to SD this will be a must on our list to stop at again! 😁 (It sits right along side the road, you cannot miss it.)

Stopped in for lunch during Sturgis 2025. The food was excellent, the way cheeseburgers are meant to be, the atmosphere was perfect and the servers were attentive, quick and friendly. You've got to put this place on your bucket list.

Moonshine Gulch Saloon is a great destination to stop for lunch or just enjoy the atmosphere! We stopped in at Moonshine Gulch Saloon while out trail riding. It's an enjoyable old saloon worth stopping at. There's plenty to look at on the walls and hanging from the ceiling. The food was decent and although fairly busy the service was great. I would recommend Moonshine Gulch Saloon to anyone traveling through the area looking for an old saloon with a lot of charisma!

Rochford a small town in the black hills with a general store and the Moonshine Gulch saloon In this place has lots of character with country charm. The food has the upmost goodness. I was planning to ask for dessert but the place filled up and more folks waiting outside the Mooshine, thought it be polite to give up my seat for the next person that is hungry also. The Lady's up front where so kind thank you and big thanks to the cook in the back end.

Dogie Theatre

Movie theater

Always a great experience & a great value :) The added bonus of a cry room helps parents enjoy the movie as well, even when a young kiddo wants to be busy or loud. Comfortable seats & super reasonable concessions prices! Cash only business...

Excellent movie theatre for a small town price is great and I was surprised by the picture quality. Sound issue has been also been fixed Yaaay! I think this is the first time in my life I have bought a large popcorn and drink for under 10 dollars and adult ticket only $8 can't beat it! Cash only btw.
Greg C — Google review
Great seats and the best true local movie theatre you can ask for. Sure, it plays the same movie all week. Sure, it's not the newest digital sound. Sure, it doesn't have an Imax attitude, but it's real! A lot of people reminisce about the old drive-in theatre and the experience that holds. This is that experience. True to its small town in price and venue, the Dogie theatre is the essence of what a theatre experience is about.
Anthony S — Google review
I grew up in Weston county. I remember going to the movies in Newcastle while growing up. The Dogie theatre was not exactly rundown when I was younger, but it definitely wasn't the best place. I went to a movie at the Dogie theatre for the first time in over ten years. I have to say, the atmosphere and renovations breathed new life into it. I was pleasantly surprised by the strides made to make it a comfortable place to see a movie.

Super cute little museum that was FREE. There’s quite a bit there considering its size. The curator, Cindy, was super nice and talked extensively with us and made sure we saw everything we wanted to. Learned some new things about Wyoming history and saw quite a few neat artifacts, including a section on dinosaur fossils.

Free (donations) local museum located in a former armory. Well worth visiting. Good displays. Several outbuildings. They also have a nice brochure of a walking tour of town (a mile out and a mile back) that will give you some more information on historic buildings. Well worth a visit. Plan on 30-45 minutes for the museum alone.

Jewel Cave National Monument

Mentioned on 
1 list 
National reserve
Nature & Parks
Jewel Cave National Monument is a historic site that features over 170 miles of trails, lantern tours, and opportunities to view wildlife. Visitors can explore the fascinating cave system with its colorful walls and unique formations. However, due to the ongoing elevator renovation, only two tours are currently available: Discovery tour and Lantern tour. Despite this limitation, visitors have praised the ranger guide for their extensive knowledge about the cave during these tours.
Most of our party did the scenic tour and loved it. Of the 700 plus stairs, they indicated the majority were down and it wasn't as strenuous as expected. The guide was knowledgeable and entertaining. The remaining 2 of our party did the discovery tour. One was 7 months pregnant, the other an overweight senior. The tour was enjoyable with a great guide. We left feeling satisfied with our cave experience. No regrets. Overall Jewel Cave was the highlight of our South Dakota trip!
Sheryl S — Google review
Stunning in the simplest sense of the word. I could have stayed down there for hours. Our Ranger was knowledgeable and full of stories. The discovery tour (30 minutes for 14 dollars) was what we chose to do as we were somewhat limited on time. It was an amazing experience however next time I would do a longer tour. Note that the longer tour that descends 750 stairs does NOT require you to walk back up said stairs, there is an elevator to the lower level as well. The visitors center is small yet adequate in display the history of jewel cave.
Random 2 — Google review
Jewel Cave is now one of our favorite caves in the U. S. We took the Scenic Tour and were just blown away by the experience. The Ranger/ tour guide was fabulous and really took the time to make sure the visitors got to see and experience the cave features. The tour group was relatively small, with under 20 people, allowing everyone to see and hear the guide. The tour was about 1 hour and 20 minutes long, with a lot of stairs and walking. We suggest arriving at least an hour early so that you have time to watch the movie and see the exhibits before your tour starts. If not, you can do these things after the tour. There are also a couple of hikes you can take in the park. We bought our tickets almost two months in advance as the tours frequently sell out in advance. The parking lot is pretty large and will accommodate RVs and trailers.
Dawn J — Google review
I love caves. I’ve been to many caves. This one is a “dry cave”. Without water leaching through, there are very few formations. The “scenic” tour consists of many stairs to enter a few large cavities. The walls are covered in “jewels” but what you see are mostly bumpy side walls since the beauty is hidden under layers of dirt. Others said they already had been on the “lantern” tour first. It was so good they did this tour as a second chance to see the caves. Maybe take the “lantern” tour if you want to be amazed
Shelley A — Google review
We really liked this tour. The Rangers were really cool and made the tour really enjoyable. When comparing the caves, this one has more interesting things to look at than Wind Cave. The Scenic Tour was 740 steps, but we never felt winded or tires from the walk. They places stopping points throughout to rest. They refinished the steps recently and they are very sterdy with lots of hand rails. It was a great tour!
Murphys O — Google review
We chose to do the one hour, twenty minutes guided tour of this National Park Service site. Fascinating history and absolutely stunning formations, colors and textures inside the cave. Our guide was knowledgeable, interesting and kept us engaged throughout the tour. A must see!
Gregory S — Google review
Showed up late a day to gather info and a ranger gave us all the info we needed - including wonderful recommendations outside the cave locally as well. When online tickets are booked, you show up in person at 8a to get tickets at the booth by the parking lot - first come first serve. We arrived early the next day (745a) and got tickets for a 920a scenic route. A different ranger did an intro and he was a bit abrasive and annoying, but other than that all staff were friendly and helpful. Visitor center has shop, an exhibit, and rally point for cave tour. The ranger assigned for our tour was very funny, lighthearted and overall he was a great guide. The cave itself is really cool - I won't rehash the website but lots of formations and they go at a good pace. Ive had knee surgery and was able to do the scenic route well - stairways have double rails, and there are stops with benches.
H — Google review
We did the 1.5 hour scenic tour. It was fun, not too hard, and despite the fact that I have claustrophobia, I felt fine for the entire trip. Our guide was very good, and the paths were well-lit.

A very will stocked high quality fabric store with every color under the rainbow. Color family and hews are grouped together making color selection and matching easy. They have a bargain vault in the back (it was once a bank) which makes for that added fun factor. They offer classes and other fun programs. Staff is friendly and helpful, I enjoyed my time in this very beautiful store.

Fantastic quilt shop! If you're just driving through, this is a great place to get out of the car and buy some fabric. They carry tons of batiks and blenders, plenty of novelty fabrics (with special attention to Western theme), other designer prints, cuddly fabrics, lots of patterns and notions. Staff were friendly and attentive without getting in my way of shopping. Definitely worth a stop! Plus the downtown area has a bunch of painted quilt blocks which makes it fun for quilters.

They have a huge selection of awesome fabrics! A gem you just have to go check out. You can't find more friendly & kind ladies to help you find what you need! They also offer clinics so instead of having to take my sewing machine hours away to get it fixed, I could just drop it off at their store for the day when they brought someone in to service machines! Highly recommend!!!

Twice this year I have called Lickety Stitch with a focus fabric and asked them to pull coordinating fabrics for a project. Both times they pulled amazing fabrics for me. I love this shop even though I have not yet had the opportunity to visit them in person. It's quite a road trip for me. Just 1100 miles! THANK YOU, THANK YOU for your fabulous customer service and fabulous fabric choices!
Linda B — Google review
Not surprising after seeing what other people are saying about Lickety Stitch Quilts, another 5 star review. What an amazing quilt store in such an unexpected location. Traveling through Lusk today I would never have guessed that there would have been such a unique quilt store located in this town. I drove an hour up from Gurnsey without seeing much other than a few ranches, and then there is this amazing quilt store. The owner shared that the "ranch ladies" in the area counted on them to be able to help keep them sane and to give them a break from all the work that has to be done on the ranch. The selection and quality of the products were amazing. There were some great kits, great fabrics, and great tools to help make quilters successful here. We ended up buying some of each of these items, loving some of the items that we have not seen in our local stores in the big metropolitan areas. The staff was very friendly and took a lot of time answering our questions and demoing some of the rulers and other accessories that are available at the store. The store will also ship your order home for you, so if you are traveling and do not have enough room in your suitcase, don't worry they will help you out. Also, do not fear falling in love with the store if you do not live nearby because it sounds like they have a great website and mail order delivery. Loved this store and highly recommend it.

Says families welcome but didn't see a sign on the outside saying smoking was allowed inside. We wouldn't have gone if that were the case. Families might be welcome but it is not a family friendly place to eat. We go to pubs a lot on road trips because they 'always' have the best food but we won't be coming back here. The service was great, both waitresses were nice. The burger was alright, tots and chicken were delicious, but the fries were bland and not tasteful and extra dipping sauce costs extra but they only fill the cups halfway.
Lauren P — Google review
Good service from the young lady who was bartending. She had some suggestions as far as local Wyoming beer which was nice. We had the Rocky Mountain oysters, original cheeseburger and a burger with pepper jack and green chile. The burger patties were massive at 3/4 lb and the price was right. I would say most definitely not “the best burger in the world” as stated by others but it was good and is definitely satisfying. Atmosphere is old school bar style and is comfortable. I recommend the black tooth brewing co “saddle bronc” brown ale.

This is a great museum. We found it by accident while traveling and I am glad we did. The volunteers who run this place do a really good job. There are a lot more exhibits than just the stagecoach. There are a lot of great examples of the way life was. There is street parking and with 60' of truck and trailer I was able to park with ease. I am glad we didn't miss it.

Amazing! We made it a point to stop in Lusk for this museum but we were shocked at all they had to offer. Free admission, donations welcomed. We actually spent an hour an a half looking at all they had to show. Well documented item, many lent by individuals and noted where or how they came to be there. Well worth the stop!
WendyinOhio — Google review
You would not know how extensive their collection is until you go in. It is the history of Lusk and Wyoming in a former military armory. They have everything for everyone including dinosaur fossils. It's as if the entire town donated their family heirloom and knick-knacks to make this museum what it is now. Love this museum.

Finding this museum was a fun surprise. We were road tripping through Wyoming and decided to check it out. The museum has a lot of fun western and historical exhibits. Tip: Find the antique gum ball machine, put a penny in it from the bowl next to it, and watch it work.

A must if you are near this Museum! We had a great time in this place. We were there couple minutes before closing coming back from South Dakota and crossing this little town, and a very nice lady came back, opened the museum let us in. Since you entered to the building the history starts with a bunch of antiques artifacts, furniture and equipments. You have to explore the building to go through other rooms and smaller houses inside the property. It was very cool to see the machines and the life style that people used to have decades ago. Thank you for keeping history alive! 😊

Super cool! Free admission, but donations are accepted. We loved the history here and the antiques. There's a piano and an organ, both of which are functional, in the main hallway. Besides the main building, there are three other buildings with really cool stuff. Go check it out!

Guernsey State Park

State Parks
Scenic park, featuring remnants of the Oregon Trail, offering hiking through sandstone cliffs.
If you love hiking in tranquility and want to feel like you’re the only person around I highly suggest coming here in the winter! So many little trails throughout the park and without the summer activities it’s very peaceful. I’ve spotted 2 eagles a couple times flying around the canyon side of the park! Lots of other wildlife too. Best of all no bugs. It’s beautiful when the park has a dusting of snow but it doesn’t stay for long.

What an awesome park, made even better by the super friendly staff and rangers. Absolutely recommend a stop. The reservoir, the trails, the cliffs, it makes for a great experience.

Beautiful spot with great views and a peaceful vibe! We really enjoyed our time at Guernsey State Park! The scenery was stunning, and the lake added that perfect touch of calm and beauty, especially at sunset, which was absolutely gorgeous. The campground was clean, well-maintained, and had everything we needed. It’s Wyoming, so yes, a bit of wind comes with the territory, but it didn’t take away from the experience. A great place to unwind, explore, and soak up some seriously pretty views.
Ken H — Google review
Absolutely worth visiting. There is no lack of stunning views here. My favorite place inside of the park is the castle It is a must see if you're visiting the park. There is plenty of access to the water and several relaxing coves along the way. Bring your sunscreen and soak in some sun.
Shayla S — Google review
This place was absolutely stunning and by far the best area I’ve ever seen for boats, campers, and jet skis. For just $7 you get a day pass at paradise and I truly enjoyed it. For those who just hike and don’t do water activities, this is still a great place with breath taking views. Just be warned, you should definitely get a map and be prepared for less hiking and more just views on cliffs. On my first trail right by the museum (which is okay) I was attacked by 50+ of this one bug that I don’t know the species of. Whenever you walk down the path they fly and hit you from both sides of the path all the way down. Very annoying even with bug spray on! Here are my top picks to go if you’re just looking for trails and views: North bluff trail,The castle, and directly below the water dam is an amazing view and even spot for fishing. It looks restricted, but it’s really not. Lastly, I recommend just driving through the whole area while being very careful of the narrow roads. Below are pictures of all 3 and I recommend this place for sure!

This is a legendery site on the Oregon Trail and it was fun to see how the wagons, traveling single file, made deep ruts into the rock as they attempted to cross the ridge. I had a little trouble finding the site, but that may be my fault. Google maps directed me to the turnoff for the Oregon Trail Ruts Historic sites. Similar to Windlass Hill in Nebraska, I pulled into the parking lot near the sign which said "Oregon Trail Ruts State Historic site" and took a very long walk (1/2 mile round trip) on a concrete path with benches and waste cans, it appeared to be a well maintained walking trail. I kept thinking I was going to see the ruts at any moment. When I finally reached a dirt road and no ruts (although a nice historic Oregon trail grave was nearby), I walked back to my car. I could see then that the sign pointed down a narrow gravel road to the historic site not to the parking lot. I drove down the gravel road 1/4 mile, turned left on a bigger dirt road and turned left again into the historic ruts site parking lot. It is a bit of a climb to the ruts, but well worth it. I am including a photo of the walking trail from the first small parking lot. It will eventually take you to the historic ruts (turn left at the road and turn left again into a larger parking lot), if you want a very long walk, but driving your car to the site will be easier.

The bridge was great even with my fear of heights and water! Alot of fish in there and it has a trail you can walk a great place for kids to go and check out. Very scenic and just a wonderful place to be with nature and regroup. A definite must for any nature enthusiasts.

It fascinates me and my dog every time we walk over it. I love taking my time and visualizing it's entire past, as well with the river. In any season, I adore this place. The park below is very well maintained, clean, quiet and serene.

A neat site near Fort Laramie. This site is about 2 miles from Fort Laramie. It is right off the road on you way to and from the fort. There is a small pullout with room for about 6 vehicles. It had and information board telling about the bridge. When we went there the leaves were yellow and it was a cool day out so it was very pretty. This is an iron bridge with wooden planking. You can walk out of the bridge and enjoy the sights and sounds from the middle of it. There is a 1.6 mile trail that leaves from the pullout. Worth the stop if you are going to Fort Laramie.

Another cool, yet small, bridge that is an important part of American history.

Super cool to see the 1876 built Army Iron Bridge at Fort Laramie National Historic Site! It's also the trail head for the Confluence Trail, a 1.6 mile loop by the North Platte and Laramie Rivers

Fort Laramie National Historic Site

Mentioned on 
1 list 
Historical place
Sights & Landmarks
Fort Laramie National Historic Site is a significant Wyoming landmark that boasts excellently preserved original buildings. Visitors can enjoy audio tours of the military post as well as outdoor activities, such as walking down the Oregon Trail and viewing old wagon ruts. The site also features a visitor center where guests can learn about life for infantry men during their five-year stay at the fort. Overall, Fort Laramie National Historic Site is an exceptional historic destination for anyone interested in learning about history and westward migration.
It was a lovely day even though it was 100 degrees outside. There are a lot of historical buildings to see, pristine black powder cannons, a couple of muzzle loaders, a military covered wagon, and a couple of men wearing army uniforms from the period of time when the Fort was filled with soldiers in the 1800’s. There are bathroom facilities available, and you have to drive past what’s left of Fort Platte on your way to Fort Laramie. This would be a great family trip, or an interesting historical stop for people driving through the area on their vacation, who want to learn more about America’s rich history.

Really interesting place. Such important history happened here. Definitely felt like hollowed ground walking around. Very good signage describing what you are looking at. Additionally, the 19 minute video at the visitor center is very informative.

I visited Fort Laramie National Historic Site during the live event weekend, and it was such a great experience. The reenactments and demonstrations really brought history to life, and the staff and volunteers were very knowledgeable. It’s a beautiful place to explore and learn more about the people who lived and traveled through here. Definitely worth the visit!

A wonderful way to spend a day Viewing a historic place. Immersed in history, some of the buildings have been recreated as they once were, you are welcome to walk the grounds and view the buildings, there are also many books about the area. The native people's and the pioneers, as well as a short film, that's very informative.
EG R — Google review
Great site for adults and kids. Good little visitor center with a 18 minute video in theatre. Barracks, post office, jail, and officer houses were cool to see as they are setup with original articles and are very viewable. Barracks was great with sarsaparilla, root beer, and cream soda available. Be sure to get there by noon for the daily canon firing and informative introduction by park ranger.

It's a gem! Kinda hidden away but it's definitely a place worth visiting if you enjoy history. Tons of artifacts and things to look at. There is some walking so dress accordingly. There isn't much shade from the summer sun so if bring an umbrella for comfort.

Well preserved historic fort where important events in American history occurred. The fort began as a trading post in the 1830s. It was purchased by the U.S. army in 1849 to protect the emigrants traveling to Oregon and California. It is a few miles off of highway 26. I had a little trouble finding the fort as Google maps first had me stop at the iron bridge, saying that was the fort, and it took awhile to figure out that it was much further down the road. It is an excellent site to learn about the U.S. army and Native Americans in the area in the mid-19th century. A nice walking trail loops around the historic buildings. You can go inside most of the buildings and rooms have glass barriers, so you can see the furnished rooms inside. I also liked the displays and photos on the eventual deterioration of the buildings when the fort closed in the 1890s and subsequent excavations and renovations. I highly recommend visiting the fort if old buildings and American history interest you.

What a great way to learn about the area’s history. A tremendous amount of care has gone into this place and it shows. There is a unique display of quilts. One 60th anniversary quilt is particularly well done and includes many personal remembrances. The cars, buggies and farm implements are well cared for

Made a trip down here during Frontier Days, and can say it was definitely worth the trip. Staff was outstanding, and provided great rides for the day. The excursion into the hills was outstanding. The local area had an unprecedented amount of rain that year so for the first time in my life I saw fields of green...IN WYOMING! Really appreciated the customer service and the great guides that took us in and out of the hillsides and valleys. If you want to get a good ride in, look these guys up. Will definitely head back in the upcoming years.

Made a reservation in a few weeks in advance. Had a very hard time getting into contact with them. We were very excited to spend some vacation time with our family horseback riding. The day of our ride comes we make several calls a few hours in advance with questions with no answer. So we figured they may be busy. We went up to the ranch. There was no one there at all we walked all over the ranch made several calls in attempt to contact and see if something cam up but no answer. We waited for awhile and no one showed up. The horses were not even set up for a ride. A few days later they get back to us saying they didn't think getting in a ride with them was important to us. That kinda threw us for a loop. Why would you not think it was important we made a reservation to take a ride with your ranch. We were really looking forward to this day. They seem to lack any care if they have business or not. Deffintly will take all horseback trail ridding to beaver meadows from now on. They are a fantastic ranch. A little bit further away from Cheyenne but we'll worth it!

We have been up twice now and plan to go next year. The beautiful scenery, easy-going staff and ownership, and well cared-for animals are what make this place unique. It doesn't feel touristy, and the prices are fair.

We tried to make reservations, got a run around. He said he will try to make it work and call us back at noon. He never did. We tried to call back twice! no one answered. The next day He calls and says "Do you want us to pay for the steaks you did not eat?" That has to be the worst customer service ever!! Who does this? You either have space or not, you can not hint that maybe it will work for you. Then never confirm the reservations. On the first phone call while trying to make reservations ( their web site says reservations needed) we are told cash only they do not take cards, when he called us trying to get us to pay for a dinner we did not get. He asked us for a credit card number over the phone!! So do you take cards or not? Or was this some scam by one of the employees. We will never go there and can not recommend them.

Curt Gowdy State Park is a recreational area that offers many outdoor activities for families and children. It was named after Wyoming's renowned sportscaster who started his career at local radio stations. The park has various campsites, hiking trails, reservoirs for boating and fishing, and picnic areas to enjoy with your loved ones. Additionally, the staff members in the booth and visitor center are very welcoming.
We had a non electric camping site and it was awesome. Very large all to ourselves overlooking the lake. Nice trails. The visitors center workers do their job but aren't really friendly, they want u out of there it seems. We enjoyed our time and went on many trails. There is no firewood for sale in the park

Curt Gowdy State Park is absolutely stunning! The scenery here is breathtaking—rolling hills, unique granite formations, crystal-clear lakes, and endless skies that make every corner of the park feel magical. The trails are so well kept and offer something for everyone, from peaceful hikes and fishing spots to exciting mountain biking routes and hidden waterfalls. The sunsets over the reservoirs are unforgettable, and it’s one of those places where you can truly slow down and soak in the beauty of nature. Wildlife is abundant, the air feels fresh and pure, and the whole park has such a vibrant, calming energy. Whether you’re looking for adventure or just a peaceful escape, this park is perfection. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Wyoming—it’s a true gem!

Spent the day hiking. Beautiful scenery and loved the view on the way to Hidden Falls. Be prepared to get in the water to see the waterfall. End of Sept the water was chilly but worth it! Water was about knee deep.
