Thirty-five minutes outside of Laramie is Curt Gowdy State Park. This is a wonderful place to adventure outdoors! Check out the Hidden Falls hike or go paddle boarding on the North Crow Reservoir. There are some great mountain biking trails here for bikers of all skill levels.
There are plenty of beautiful hikes in the Snowies but the Med Bow Peak hike is one of our favorites! Located about 45 minutes outside from Laramie, hiking to the peak will put you at 12,013 feet, and is the highest point in the Snowy Range, so the 360-degree views from the top are stunning! I would definitely get an early start if you are attempting this hike but make sure to stop at Country Junction is Centennial, WY on the way back into Laramie for some great ice cream!
Saratoga is a very small town with some relaxing natural mineral hot-spring pools. You can choose to stay at the Saratoga Hot Springs Resort or take a day trip to Saratoga to enjoy the free "Hobo Hot Springs" located within Saratoga. We would recommend driving along WY-130 for to take in the scenery of the Snowies. Eating at Bella's Bistro is a must if you're visiting Saratoga! Bella's Bistro is a fantastic Italian restaurant that is reservation only and open from 5 PM - 9 PM. Saratoga in located an hour and a half away from Laramie and approximately two and a half hours away from the wedding venue.
Vedauwoo has some of the best rock climbing spots in the region. The Turtle Rock hike is one of our favorite hikes as it's a mostly flat, short 3-mile loop with plenty of areas to do a little bouldering and mess around. There are also a few trails to get some mountain biking in!
