Five Ways to Enjoy Fall in Casper, Wyoming

Planning a fall trip to Casper, Wyoming? Here are 5 things to do in Casper this fall!

Here in Casper, autumn brings cooler weather, beautiful fall foliage and plenty of space to breathe, explore and adventure. Whether you’re venturing to Wyoming to experience the Cowboy State during a quieter time of year, soak up the cooler mountain air or attend an event, there are plenty of things to enjoy during your visit.

Here are five ways to enjoy fall in Casper:

1. Fly-fishing

You may think of summer as the perfect time to fish, but the truth is fall brings some of the best fishing opportunities to the North Platte River. The cooler temperatures increase trout activity, especially along the riverbanks. In addition to the North Platte River, there are two reservoirs – Pathfinder and Alcova – within 30 minutes of downtown Casper. You can fish on your own (just make sure you purchase a fishing license and are well-versed on the rules, regulations and laws of Wyoming) or book a guided trip with an outfitter.

2. Take It To The Trails

If you’re in the mood to explore Casper’s trails, fall is one of the best times of year to do it. The cool, crisp mountain air filled with colorful foliage makes adventuring a bit more fun. First, visit Garden Creek Falls and then hike up the Bridle Trail for sweeping views of Casper, the Big Horn Mountains and the sweeping plains of Wyoming. Next, continue up Casper Mountain and set out on one of the trailheads. If you prefer to stay closer to town, walk along Casper’s river trails and enjoy the cool, clear evenings right in downtown.

3. Green Acres Corn Maze + Pumpkin Pickin'

Embrace fall with ALL the fall activities, from haybale mazes to wagon rides and pumpkin patches. Casper's favorite Green Acres Corn Maze has a slew of activities for guests of all ages. Plus, they’re open Saturdays and Sundays from September 23-November 7th.

After hitting the corn maze, be sure to celebrate Oktoberfest at Gruner Brothers Brewing! A Bavarian-styled experience for adults with beer, live music, & festive games! Taking place October 17th at 4pm.

4. Soak Up Fall Colors

If your favorite colors are red, orange and yellow, fall is your season to visit Casper and soak up all the autumn hues. Whether you want to stay in the heart of the city or take a scenic drive up Casper Mountain or to Fremont Canyon, there are so many places to experience the magic of the season. One of the best places to take in all of Casper and its stunning fall views is Lookout Point, about three-quarters of the way up Casper Mountain. From here, you can take in all the beautiful colors of fall, perfectly complemented by a colorful Wyoming sunset.

5. Taste the Best Casper Coffee Scene

Crisp fall mornings call for a good cup of coffee, and Casper’s local shops have
plenty of seasonal flavor’s worth sipping. Stop by Metro Coffee Company for a
breakfast sandwich paired with the “Fall Y’all,” a pumpkin pie, vanilla and
caramel macchiato that tastes like fall in a cup. Then make your way to KayB
Coffee and try the Apple Butter Buzz Chai, made with real apple butter, spiced
chai and a white espresso base. Whether you’re grabbing a quick pick-me-up or settling
somewhere cozy, Casper’s coffee scene makes it easy to sip your way through
fall, one local cup at a time.
