Some find the transition from summer into fall and winter tough. Others are excited by the annual change, not only because of the fall colors and a break from the summer heat but also because when the snow begins to fly, the fun for many begins on Casper Mountain.

Snowshoeing, cross-country skiing, snowmobiling, downhill skiing, and sledding are all possibilities. You may not know the time and effort spent grooming, shaping, and maintaining the trails.

The Central Wyoming Trail Alliance does most of the work.

For the last 10 years, CWTA has been working with land managers, advocating for trail building, and giving the Casper area great opportunities to be outdoors and enjoy nature.

When using the trail system, you must follow rules to ensure it remains in good shape for everyone else to use.

  • A Natrona County Trails Pass is required. Pass enforcement began on 11/15.
  • Dogs are not allowed on the ski trails.
  • Fat bikes and snowshoes are allowed on the trails; ride/walk on the opposite side of the ski trails.
  • If you're walking on the trail, snowshoes are required.
  • Fatbike tires should be low psi 3.8" or larger.
  • Follow all county park rules.

There are quite a few ways that you can get your trail pass.
