What to do in Casper
Hogadon Basin Ski Area
2500 Hogadon Rd, WY, 82601
Head to Casper Mountain, just over 10 miles outside of the city, to discover a compact skiing resort with around 28 trails for all abilities.

North Platte River
WY
On a hot summer’s day, you might be wondering where many of the Casper locals have disappeared to. The answer is likely to be the North Platte River, where residents go fishing, boating or often just bob along the pretty river in an inner tube. If kayaking or stand-up paddleboarding doesn’t float your boat, pack a picnic and relax on the riverbank.
Fort Caspar Museum
4001 Fort Caspar Rd, WY, 82604
It might be spelled slightly differently, but this fort is what gave the city of Casper its name. The museum is within a reconstructed 1865 frontier outpost and also includes a Mormon ferry replica, stockade and an interpretive center that brings local history to life.
