A PIT STOP

WITH A VIEW

In Wyoming, going off the beaten path is a direct route to the good stuff: the best views; the most incredible food; and, here in Platte County, the opportunity to explore some of our state’s most unique landmarks… with a view!

Anywhere else, it’s just a pit stop  

Grabbing gas or food in other places along I-25 is exactly that: a pit stop on the way to somewhere else. 

Here in Platte County, it’s your chance to explore:

  • The Castle, which also makes for a great place to picnic
