CASPER, Wyo. – Hit the trail this Saturday, Aug. 19 and join the National Historic Trails Interpretive Center for a guided tour of a historic Wyoming landmark. This month’s trail trek will take participants to the upper and lower monuments of the Rocky Ridge site in central Wyoming.
Participants will meet at 8 a.m. in the parking lot of the Trails Center at 1501 N. Poplar St. in Casper and depart shortly after. Trail treks are driving trips with numerous stops in-between. Trekkers will need to drive their own vehicle or carpool, as transportation is not provided. We recommend a high-clearance, 4-wheel drive vehicle.
Sites may have uneven surfaces and primitive trails with elevation changes and may not be suitable for everyone. Bring a lunch, water, snacks, and wear appropriate clothing and shoes suitable for walking.
For more information and to register for a trek, please call Jason Vlcan at 307-261-7783.
The Trails Center will hold trail treks to other sites throughout the summer.
