winter for people who don’t like winter …

YET

We’re proud to be Platte: Home to some of the mildest winter weather in the state—and plenty of opportunities to get out there and enjoy it. 

The way we see it, frosty forecasts and snow-covered surfaces are an invitation to enjoy Wyoming in ways you don’t get to any other time of year. 

From cozying up with a blanket and good book at the Castle, to savoring the silence of a snowglobe-like hike, winter in Platte County is like nowhere else in the state—and you’re invited to come explore any time. 

Get out and enjoy our mild winter temps by: 

  • Hiking up to the Castle  for some fresh air; bring a cozy blanket, a hot drink, and a good book to make an afternoon of it!
Earning your winter-hiking chops on a top-rated trail in Guernsey State Park:
Bundling up for an awe-inspiring hike in Glendo State Park:

Then, after a long day outside: 

  • Grab a table at your choice of locally-owned eateries in Glendo
  • Make your way to Guernsey to enjoy a home-cooked meal or snag the best slice of pizza in town
  • Unwind with a drink at the state’s oldest soda fountain or order up a steak (with a side of live music) in Chugwater
  • Head over to Hartville for a divine steak dinner at the oldest bar in Wyoming
  • Take your pick from Wheatland’s wide variety of local fare, from BBQ and comfort food, to classic Mexican and American favorites

Now, for the cherry on top… stay the night! 

We’re proud to be Platte—and we’re happy you’re here
