Spring and Summer are the perfect time to explore
Hike to the top of Medicine Bow Peak’s towering 12,013 feet for panoramic views of the surrounding wilderness. Cast a line in the North Platte River, a blue-ribbon trout fishery winding through the county. Take a dip in Saratoga’s Hobo Hot Springs, a natural mineral hot spring that is free and open to the public 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.
Tucked away in the picturesque Seminoe Mountains, Seminoe State Park offers a unique blend of history, natural beauty, and adventure. Known for its anomalous sand dunes amidst rugged mountains, this scenic spot provides the perfect setting for boating, paddleboarding, and fun!
One of the best ways to explore is via scenic byways and back country roads. The Snowy Range Scenic Byway is a great option. This high-altitude drive winds through the Medicine Bow National Forest and offers stunning views.
