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.
Lincoln Park is a wonderful example of Cheyenne’s smaller neighborhood parks. Although not as large as the community or state parks, this little park still brings quite a bit of great outdoors to the city-dwellers. Enjoy the greenery of the park at one of the picnic areas, play a game of basketball on the public court, let the children have fun in their play area and cool down in the summer at Johnson Pool.
Formed by a small but dedicated group in 1989, the Texas Trail Museum marks the historic Texas Cattle Trail. Housed in a former Power Plant/Fire House, the small museum displays a number of historic and pre-historic artifacts from Albin, Burns, Carpenter, Egbert, Pine Bluffs and other areas of Laramie County, and includes six historic buildings.
