Simply beautiful! I visited 3 times in one week. The trails are perfect for a hike. They have sections for beginner and moderate experience levels. The scenery and views are simply amazing! The hike from the lower parking area out and back was just under 2 miles. The trial from there was a little tight and overgrown for about 40 yards, but the path was smooth, no loose rocks or other debris to worry about. Well worth the visit!
Beautiful drive from the town with a great view of town from drive back down. They have several shirt trails and one is easiest for me and most to navigate. We saw wild turkies on the
way and they has several benches to stop and read if needed. The waterfall is beautiful and a great reward for our morning hike.
Outstanding park. Probably my favorite in Casper.
It's free, it's good exercise, its clean air and its well maintained. The parking can get pretty rough though. Don't expect to park a long vehicle in the circle and not expect a love tap from someone else trying to get through.
Take your kids - they will love it.

Bridle Trail Split Rock Loop is a beautiful hike. It took us about 2.5 hours including several stops to rest and enjoy the views. I believe it was around 4.2 miles to do the entire loop. A bit challenging in a couple of spots at the beginning and end of the loop so definitely have good hiking shoes and possibly trekking poles.
This was one of the first places my husband ever took me and my two daughters to in his home town of Casper WY. Now I get to take my daughter and her kiddos there. RIP to my husband, the most wonderful man I ever had the honor of having in my life. We all miss you, until we meet again my love 💕
