Curt Gowdy State Park
Happy Jack Road, 24 miles west of Cheyenne
Set in the pine-and-granite country between Cheyenne and Laramie, the park has three reservoirs, campgrounds, cabins, and more than 35 miles of trails that mountain bikers rank among the best in the region. Most of the park lies just over the Albany County line.
