Boysen State Park
One of Wyoming’s premier parks is Boysen State Park. It is located north of Shoshoni and south of Thermopolis at the south entrance to the Wind River Canyon. Beautiful area. This is not the best State park for general camping and hiking, however, if you are a water sport enthusiast, it is wonderful. The reservoir…
Thermopolis Hot Springs State Park
One of my favorite place to go in Wyoming is Thermopolis Hot Springs State Park https://wyoparks.wyo.gov/index.php/places-to-go/hot-springs. There is nothing like hiking a while, and then going to either the free State Bath House or one of the two pools in the park. The Pools Personally, I am a fan of the bath house. It tends…
Wyoming Dinosaur Center
Last Sunday, I traveled over to Thermopolis for the day and decided to visit the Wyoming Dinosaur Center. Ever since I was a kid, I have always been interested in dinosaurs. The Wyoming Dinosaur Center was founded in 1995 and is home to nearly 20,000 bone specimens, thousands of fossils from the area, the state…
Garden Creek Falls in Rotary Park
Took the pups for a walk at Garden Creek Falls in Rotary Park in Casper, Wyoming. What a hidden gem that is and only about 15 short minutes from downtown Casper. The waterfall itself is only about 1/4 mile from the upper parking lot and is a relatively easy hike right up to the base. …
Hole-in-the-Wall Wyoming

This is not an actual hole in the wall or cave, but rather, a splendid red, sandstone escarpment at the southern side of the Big Horn Mountains. It was so remote, that it made the perfect hiding spot for bank…
Hell’s Half Acre
Drove over to see Hell’s Half Acre the other day. I have been by it a hundred times and never stopped to look. It is obviously, not huge…hence the Half Acre part of the name. The colors and the depth of the rock formations are beautiful. It has been called Wyoming’s baby Grand Canyon. In…
Big Muddy Pond
One of my favorite places to take the dogs for a hike and/or fishing, is Big Muddy Pond. It is quiet. Not too many people and we can walk down to the pond pretty much any day, except for in the snowiest of weather. We have actually tried that. Not such a good idea, as…

Casper Annual Art in the Park Show 2021
Ran in to the Casper Annual Art in the Park Show today while driving around at lunch time at Mike Sedar Park. It was a beautiful day and I decided to get out and go for a walk, unfortunately, without my pups. Stumbled on the sign about the art show and decided to take a…
