We’re proud to be Platte—and we can’t wait to welcome you
Platte County is located in southeast Wyoming, putting us about:
- 2.5 hours from Denver / DIA
- 3.5 hours from Mount Rushmore
- 6 hours from Jackson, Wyoming
- 8.5 hours from Yellowstone National Park
We’re one heck of a stop-over spot on your way to or from.
In addition to time-honored treasures from the Oregon Trail era—including the Register Cliff Historic Site and some of the most spectacular wagon ruts remaining along the entire length of the Oregon Trail—Platte County is home to:
- One of the only beaches in Wyoming
- Two charming museums
- An array of historical markers
- A pair of state parks
- Year-round yurts for camping
- Miles of hiking and biking trails
