Extreme Performance

It's not often that a museum possesses the impressive scale and multi-dimensional impact that the Fort Caspar Museum does. This museum defies the conventional concept of a museum as it is a collection of reconstructed buildings on the original location of Platte Bridge Station and Louis Guinard's Platte Bridge. These structures amazingly replicate their original appearance, and in addition to this stunning display, the museum also features various cultural and natural history exhibits of Central Wyoming.

Getting a great meal doesn't have to be a waiting game. When you're in Casper, make sure to stop by Johnny J's Diner for a great meal that is served up with a heaping helping of nostalgia.

There's a stack of fluffy pancakes on the breakfast menu, a terrific entree with a side dish for lunch, and a big juicy burger for dinner—or anytime! Also, make sure to leave some room for one of Johnny J's famous milkshakes for the best way to end your meal on a sweet note.

Nature lovers usually can't sit still for long, and that's why the Platte River Parkway Trail is so appealing for many people who live in Casper. This trail system runs approximately ten miles in length, east to west through the Casper community, connecting many parks and recreation areas. The trail is popular with walkers, runners and folks out to enjoy a day of outdoor recreational activities on land or on the river. There's also plenty of wildlife to view from either the trail or the lakeside.
