Glenrock, WY

united states

Glenrock sits where I-25 meets US 20/26 in east-central Wyoming, making it a natural stop between Colorado and Montana. The town of 2,941 people lies along the North Platte River, surrounded by rolling sagebrush country typical of the Powder River Basin. Most visitors arrive from Casper (25 miles north) or Douglas (35 miles south) via I-25. The Deer Creek Station, a historic Pony Express stop from the 1860s, preserves the area's frontier heritage with visible Oregon Trail ruts nearby.
