Snowshoeing
If you’re looking for a simple, budget friendly way to experience the best of Casper Mountain in the snow, our best advice is to strap on a set of snowshoes and hit the trail.
Snowshoeing requires minimal gear and doesn’t take a lot of practice to get the hang of. With a pair of snowshoes strapped to your boots, you can hike many of the mountain’s trails, even when they’re covered with feet of fresh powder, nearly effortlessly.
They say, “if you can walk, you can snowshoe,” and it’s true. Once you’ve got your snowshoes on, you can trek across peaceful pine forests and open meadows that few others get to see this time of year. Many of the same trails you love to hike in summer, like those near Beartrap Meadow or the Casper Mountain Trails Center, transform into quiet winter wonderlands, perfect for exploring on foot.
Whether you’re heading out solo, with family, or in a group, snowshoeing offers a refreshing way to slow down and take in the sights, sounds, and stillness of Wyoming’s winter. If you don’t have your own gear, several local retailers in Casper offer snowshoe rentals and can point you toward the best trails for your skill level.
