Did you know that there is a pristine network of trails at the base of Casper Mountain? Rotary Park makes hiking easy for anyone to enjoy, and the views of the basin and Garden Creek Waterfall make this a must-see hiking spot in Wyoming.

Rotary Park is a city park at the base of Casper Mountain - but this is far from any ordinary city park!

The park contains a couple of short trails that each lead to beautiful landscapes and stunning overlooks, and they’re suitable for all levels of hiking. You will find between 400 and 1,000 feet of elevation gain, depending on your route, but the trail is well maintained and there are plenty of sights along the way that make it fly by.

Take your time to enjoy each lookout! On a clear day, you can see for miles and miles.

While it’s always a good idea to bring a map on a hike, you will find plenty of signs on your route, making it pretty hard to get lost, or to miss out on a view.

Even though this park is so close to Casper, it’s almost always quiet, and you’ll likely be able to avoid any crowds here.

Garden Creek Falls is one of the gems of the park, so even if you take a different trail, be sure to pop by to see it! It roars to life in the springtime and gradually slows down throughout the season.

The views make all of the effort worth it! Come see why this is the most underrated and spectacular city park in all of Wyoming.
