Reach New Heights at Wyoming's State Parks

Wyoming is the home to 12 state parks that span over 100,000 acres of the state’s wide-open landscape. From granite outcroppings to pristine lakes to mineral hot springs, Wyoming’s state parks offer a variety of beautiful scenery for you to enjoy as you hike, boat or mountain bike your way through. Pitch a tent or park your RV and watch the stars reflect off the reservoir and Glendo State Park. Experience some of the best mountain biking in Wyoming along 30 miles of diverse trails at Curt Gowdy State Park. Find a local bison herd and geothermal features away from the crowds of Yellowstone at Hot Springs State Park. Whether it is trekking or snowshoeing miles of trails, fishing some of the best waters in the region or finding unique camping in the form of a yurt or treehouse, Wyoming’s state parks are some of the best places to unplug from everyday life.

Curt Gowdy State Park

Known for its world-class mountain biking trails, this state park located between Cheyenne and Laramie offers plenty to do for thrill seekers and nature lovers alike. Fish or paddle along the park’s three reservoirs or find a new favorite hiking trail. You can spend a night (or several) camping or staying at one of the yurts or cabins located inside the park.



Join In Western Culture

The spirit of the West is alive and well in Wyoming. Learn about the seventh largest Indian reservation in the U.S. and the two tribes that call it home. Track the Mormon Trail and the Oregon Trail to see where they merged as settlers migrated west in the 1800s. From tales of famous outlaws like Butch Cassidy and pioneers like Buffalo Bill Cody to modern-day ranchers and rodeo athletes, it’s easy to find new ways to discover the Old West in the Cowboy State.



Embark On A Hiking Adventure

With eight national forests, two national parks, 12 state parks and more than 18 million acres of public land, hikers have plenty to do and see in Wyoming. Canyon Country is one of the best areas for hiking in Yellowstone National Park. Here you can see thermal mud pots, vents and lakes, open meadow and an old growth forest. Or try the Upper Geyser Basin trails, which will take you past Old Faithful, Castle, Beehive and other impressive geysers. Just south of Yellowstone, Grand Teton National Park is also renowned for its hiking, from a day hike around Bearpaw and Trapper Lakes to a backpacking trip along the Grand Teton Loop. Many of Wyoming’s state parks and historic sites boast scenic trails for hiking, from Curt Gowdy’s Hidden Falls to Popo Agie Falls in Sinks Canyon. Want even more epic trails? Access day hikes or multi-day backpacking adventures along the Continental Divide Trail, which winds 550 miles through Wyoming, spanning from the northwestern corner of Yellowstone National Park and exiting the state in the Medicine Bow National Forest in the south. Whether you want to scale a mountain or stroll across the plains, Wyoming has the perfect hike.



Wyoming's Culinary Culture

Embrace the bold flavors of Wyoming, where courage meets culinary innovation. Talented chefs, distillers, brewers, and winemakers who dared to be different are crafting tastes that will leave you craving more. Venture into a diverse culinary landscape, from succulent bison burgers to meticulously crafted brews, and unlock a different side of Wyoming through your taste buds. Whether in bustling towns or quaint communities, savor dishes and drinks that cater to every palate. Your culinary adventure awaits in the heart of Wyoming.

Wyoming’s libation scene is full of unique wineries and meaderies, each offering a distinct taste of the region. Weston Wineries and Table Mountain Vineyards stand out as premier destinations, showcasing the state’s finest sipping beverages. Weston Wineries, nestled in downtown Sheridan, bottles wine locally, embodying Wyoming’s Western heritage and becoming a local favorite. Meanwhile, Table Mountain Winery, near Torrington, specializes in 100 percent Wyoming wines, sourced from their family farm vineyards. For a taste of history, head to Big Lost Meadery in Gillette, the state’s sole meadery housed in a charming old general store, where you can savor the ancient libation of mead alongside locally crafted beer.

Abandoned Louisiana - The Pirate's Cove Water Park / Resort in Iowa

 About ten minutes east of the city of Lake Charles are the remains of an abandoned water park . The decaying structures are clearly visible from the busy I-10 freeway and for years drivers have wondered about it's history and why it was left for dead.   The Pirate's Cove Water Park actually has a rather interesting story behind it. A story that has been repeated over and over again, unfortunately, here in Louisiana. It's just another example of how government bureaucracy in this state killed an enterprise before it could ever get off the ground. Construction on the park began in 2008 and it was scheduled to open sometime in 2010. The sprawling complex was envisioned as an oasis from the hot summer heat that would feature luxurious amenities like a 900 foot long lazy river, a giant splash pad for the kids and eventually a five star hotel. The Pirate's Cove would have been an obvious tourist destination that could have brought much needed tax dollars and employment oppo...

Abandoned Louisiana - The Old Hightower Family Home in Dodson

I have to admit that I have been hanging on to these photos for a couple of months now just looking for the right minute to post them. Back in November I was traveling up to El Dorado, Arkansas and I passed through the small town of Dodson. While driving through town my eyes spotted a very attractive old house up on a hill and I just had to stop and take a few photos of it. I honestly don't know the history of this house, but I'm sure some local will send me message telling me all about it (and someone did see the UPDATE ), and it's not as cool as an abandoned railroad locomotive or old movie house but it really spoke to me. I have to wonder about the people who used to live in it and how it ended up in the state it is now. Anyone can see that it was a beautiful house long ago. What happened? How did such a grand residence end up like this? Those are questions that I can't answer unfortunately.  Unfortunately a site like this isn't all that uncommon here in Louisian...
