Head out to the Curt Gowdy State Park, located in-between Cheyenne and Laramie, for a beautiful mountain retreat. Get back in harmony with Mother Nature in this 3,400-acre park and reservoir; this nature preserve is bounding with all sorts of plant and wildlife, as well as an “Epic” trail system, granite outcroppings (perfect for climbing), and aquatic and outdoor activities.
Feel the adrenaline coursing through your veins as you fly down the slopes of the Snowy Range Ski & Recreation Area, nestled in the breath-taking Medicine Bow National Park. Whether you are a beginner, intermediate or expert skier or snowboarder, you’re sure to have a great time exploring the many trails down the mountainside.
Wander across the border to Colorado for A Wanderlust Adventure in the white-water rapids of the Poudre River. AWA offers exciting recreational rafting trips along this wild and scenic river, less than an hour away from Cheyenne. Great for novice adventurers and active thrill seekers alike, this ride over the rapids is comparable to one of the Cheyenne Frontier Day bull rides.
Get up close and personal with the great North American bison at the Terry Bison Ranch, just seven miles south of Cheyenne. Explore the ranch resort attractions and its grassland grazers on either the custom-built train or by horseback riding along the trails. You can also enjoy fishing at the rainbow trout-stocked pond, let the children play at the Kid Corral and dine at the excellent Senator’s Steakhouse.
