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:
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: 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.
