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

Traveling on I-25? Plan to stop in Platte!

Where to stay

From dreaming in a dome under a blanket of Wyoming stars, to cozying up in a cabin by the lake, there’s no place like Platte to rest and refresh… no matter where you are in the county!

We’re proud to be Platte—and we can’t wait to welcome you!

SO BEAUTIFUL

YOU'll NEVER WANT TO LEAF

We’re proud to be Platte: Home to fall foliage so beautiful, you’ll never want to leaf. 

Here in Wyoming, fall is crisp and bright—with sunny, still-warm September days gently rolling into “perfect hoodie weather” October nights. 

It’s the ideal time of year to take in the magnificent fall colors at Glendo State Park or Guernsey State Park, followed by a hike on one of Platte County’s low-effort, high-reward trails.
