Who says adventure has to come with a price tag? In Casper, some of the best experiences are 100% free. From miles of trails and scenic overlooks to live music and local events, you’ll find plenty of ways to explore, unwind, and connect without spending a dime.
Start your day with a hike or scenic drive on Casper Mountain, where panoramic views and peaceful pine forests are just minutes from downtown. Wander the trails along the North Platte River, or dance to live music at David Street Station in the heart of downtown Casper.
You can even dedicate an entire day to uncovering Casper's history without opening your wallet! The National Historic Trails Interpretive Center, Tate Geological Museum, and the Werner Wildlife Museum are all free and perfect for families with young kids. The National Historic Trails Interpretive Center features several hands-on exhibits that tell the story of how some of Casper's earliest residents migrated through our area on the Oregon, California, Mormon, and Pony Express Trails.
Up for a short drive? Head out to Independence Rock and climb to the top all while discovering the carved-in names of pioneers that marked their arrival to this natural monument through the 1800s.
