Casper, WY

united states

Casper sits where Interstate 25 crosses central Wyoming, making it a natural stop between Denver and Billings. Major routes include US 20 west to Yellowstone and US 26 toward Nebraska, with the airport 10 miles northwest of downtown. The high plains location at 5,150 feet brings hot summers and cold winters. The National Historic Trails Interpretive Center overlooks the city, where you can still see wagon ruts carved into solid rock by pioneer wheels over 150 years ago.
