Casper and the North Platte River are the heart of Central Wyoming. The surrounding landscape goes from sage-covered plains to tree-covered mountains, and back – some of the most iconically Western landscape. This is the corridor that many of America’s pioneers followed in their treks across the country, looking for a way through the Rockies to the south and west. Following along the North Platte River, towns including Chugwater, Wheatland, Glendo, Douglas and Glenrock live in the legacy of those early pioneers. Off the main highways, smaller towns and sweeping vistas draw visitors lucky enough to find them into a truly stunning land.
Visiting Casper during the holidays is like stepping back in time to a slower, gentler age when every event was treasured and a congenial down-home spirit reigns. Enjoy the traditional downtown (and many neighborhoods) ablaze with holiday lights, as well as Casper’s annual Christmas Parade. From period re-enactments and celebrations for a good cause to shopping and fun family-friendly events, Casper is alive during the holiday season. read more
