You’ll Capture Truly Insta-Worthy Photos of Casper’s Vistas

Whether you’re looking for a simple selfie moment or an Instagram-worthy photo showing off beautiful scenery or the hike you’re conquering, Casper has it all.

Hike along the rim of Fremont Canyon to encounter a view one might think is only available at the Grand Canyon. Visit the Tate Geological Museum for a photo with a T-Rex or a wooly mammoth named Dee! Head up to Casper Mountain for the best views overlooking the city from sunrise to sunset. Nestled into the mountain is Split Rock, home to one of the most famous, natural-born photo backdrops in town.

Casper has all of this to offer your camera lens, and we haven’t even talked about the North Platte River yet! Here you can see the winding river with mountain peaks in the background, beautiful rainbow trout trophies being held proudly, or downtown history standing tall beside its banks.

The great city of Casper has this and much more for a visitor to find, capture and remember forever.

Casper’s Summer Calendar is Jam-Packed with Activities

 

Casper is known for some of the very best events in Wyoming, and there are many worth taking a trip for. From rodeos and art festivals to brew fests, there’s a festival for every type of traveler in Casper.

The community comes alive in the summer months with festivals, events and rodeos nearly every week. Every June, Casper hosts the best collegiate rodeo athletes in the country for the College National Finals Rodeo. Then in July, Central Wyoming Fair and Rodeo, one of the top 35 PRCA rodeos in the United States, takes place with five nightly outdoor rodeo performances. The Beartrap Summer Festival fills Beartrap Meadow on Casper Mountain every August with live music and vendors selling food, handmade goods and art. Meanwhile, David Street Station hosts farmers markets, movie nights, festivals and concerts in the heart of downtown Casper all summer long.

In the colder months, downtown Casper transforms into a winter wonderland, with the highlight of the season being the community Christmas Tree Lighting and Christmas Parade at the end of November.
