My husband and I are not train people but we love to learn and see new things. We stopped here for a break in our travels. We learned something new and enjoyed our 1.5 hours here. Thank you to the volunteer up on the top deck who educated us.
A nice stop. We enjoyed the sites, had a picnic, played with our dog and a bathroom break before getting back on the road. We spent a little over 2 hours here.
Not what I expected. We are traveling with a dog and I thought this was a hug garden with a walking path that circled that garden. It’s a very small but pretty garden. There is a concrete walking path just down the hill that is 8.9 miles long. Across the street is a large open park for outdoor games and picnics. We played fetch with our dog until he tired out then got back on the road.
Always a great place to shop, Never disappointed and always great finds.
This was a great stop. I wish we could have walked the nature trail and saw some of the other buildings but it was really cold and windy. We were also planning to do a picnic lunch here but had to cancel due to the unexpected weather. We still Spent 3 hours here. The state really put a lot of money and effort i to this place.
I wish it wasn’t so cold and windy when we visit. We speed walked thru the ruins but stopped and spent time in the buildings to warm up. My husband and I love to visit historical sites so it was sad that we couldn’t spend more time. There is a walking tour brochure in the tender’s house.

We were thankful to be in a cabin verses a tent on this cold windy night. I wish the beds were more comfortable. Putting myself in their shoes I understand why they have cheap waterproof thin mats as a mattress but as a paying customer, my husband and I are sore as can be from sleeping on them.
I love history so this was a great for me. They have people dressed up and talk to you about the different things there. The fort is spread out so be prepared to walk. We are not Wyoming residents so it’s $8 a person. They allowed our dog but not allowed in the museum building.
