Wow, I was so impressed with the variety of trails and camping options. There are trails for all ages and abilities. There are many places to stop for pictures and a few bathrooms through the national-forest area. They have some official campsites set up with picnic tables, fire pits and grills but you can also find some very secluded private areas. Be aware: There are strong winds, so you need to anchor your tent and secure all belongings from both the wind and bears.” — Arty_mom @ranchmama MEDICINE BOW-ROUTT NATIONAL FOREST | near Laramie 5.0 “Less than an hour from Laramie, the national forest is a must-see for hikers and other outdoors lovers. We took the loop trail to Medicine Bow Peak (clockwise) and it was fantastic; the views were amazing and the hike was a challenge. We were happy we brought our poles for crossing a large snowfield and coming down the steep trail near the peak. Get there early for parking in summer as the lot filled up quickly, as did parts of the trail.” — DillonM1905 Laramie Plains Museum Laramie 4.5 American Heritage Center Laramie Lander Bake Shop Lander Lollypops Saratoga CLOCKWISE FROM TOP LEFT: INSTAGRAM/NOELBPHOTOGRAPHY; WYOMING OFFICE OF TOURISM/ARIELLE SHIPE; FACEBOOK/NATIONAL MUSEUM OF MILITARY VEHICLES; INSTAGRAM/RANCHMAMA.

The beds and rooms were clean and comfortable, and the hot springs are literally steps away from the front door of each room. The resort boasts a brewery and restaurant on-site as well as a nine-hole golf course that was excellent. My buddies and I do a golf trip every June and this will certainly be our destination next year.” — Mistere92105 NATIONAL MUSEUM OF MILITARY VEHICLES | Dubois 5.0 “This is an incredible private collection of historic military vehicles and memorabilia. We took two free guided tours. The morning was through [the WWII section], complete with the history of the battles. Then, after a huge lunch at the on-site cantina, the afternoon tour [featured] the Korean conflict and Vietnam. Well worth the trip to Dubois.” — Brian G Shoshone Rose Casino & Hotel Lander Snowy Mountain Brewery & Pub Saratoga Svilar’s Bar & Dining Room Hudson Find more Wyoming things to do at tripadvisor.com. 24
