CASPER – From the great outdoors, to art galleries and museums, a two-hour drive to Casper could provide for a weekend stocked with fun.
On the drive up I-25, Casper Mountain may be the first site Casper has to offer that’s viewable from the road. The mountain, which is part of the Laramie mountain range, has an elevation of more than 8,000 feet. There are trails for both hiking and biking all through the mountain. It also boasts a skiing spot, archery range and several camping spots.
For other outdoorsy ideas, the city of Casper has a wide range of opportunities to fish, bike and hike throughout the area.
On a rainy day, or if indoor attractions are more the speed of the weekend, Casper offers days full of ideas. If kids are in tow for the weekend trip, one option is to do the “passport to adventure”. Thirteen of Casper’s museums and attractions joined together to form a “passport” for children to learn more about the Casper area.
Each of the museums has a question in the passport that can be answered by exploring the site. If a child gets to six museums in the book and answers all six questions correctly by Aug. 31, he or she can enter to win one of eight grand prize packages.
