What to Do in Casper

Learn More

Casper's roots are buried in commerce. The town began as a ferry site on the Oregon Trail in 1847, when a group of immigrants from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who were camping realized that there was money to be made by boating travelers across the North Platte River. The idea caught on, and in the early 1850s a toll bridge was built; soon a military post was established to protect the span and its traffic.

NATIONAL PARKAgate Fossil Beds National Monument Agate Fossil Beds National Monument is on SR 29, 22 miles south of Harrison or 34 miles north of Mitchell in the Niobrara River Valley.

Named for James Cook's Agate Springs Ranch, this 3,000-acre site also features Cook's collection of 19th- and 20th-century American Indian artifacts.Agate Fossil Beds National Monument
NATIONAL PARKArapaho And Roosevelt National Forests And Pawnee National Grassland In north-central Colorado past and present coexist within the 1,280,000 mountainous acres of the Arapaho and Roosevelt National Forests, which embrace some of the higher and more visited areas of the region. Creaking ghost towns in the Arapaho region set off lively ski resorts, and the rotted roadbeds of abandoned narrow-gauge railways contrast with the well-maintained highways that provide access to this rooftop of the continent.Arapaho And Roosevelt National Forests And Pawnee National Grassland
