A medium size rest area just South of Cheyenne, WY. It has some covered picnic areas and an Information Center which mostly covers Wyoming but if you ask the Attendant, they also have Colorado maps and information (but they were hiding them under the desk, FYI).

I stop just to rest or get a map, but I don't find it to be as restful an area as some of Wyoming's other rest stops.

Weather conditions are usually a factor. If it's really sunny, there is no shaded parking.

It can be windy (that's not unusual), or rainy and in the winter cold and snowy (and probably windy as well).

Do remember that the State of Colorado is so close you can just about reach out and touch it! (Just a few miles south on I 25. If you want to go to Denver, just point the vehicle South and eventually you will run right into it.

But first enjoy the fun and friendly cities of Ft Collins, Loveland and east from Loveland to Rocky Mountain National Park, before you go towards the Mile High City.

If you turn that vehicle the opposite way, you will very quickly enter the Capital city of Wyoming: Cheyenne.

Cheyenne is a medium size city with a fascinating history, and at one time in the past, rivaled Denver, CO. Now it's a more historical city with friendly people and a lot to see, so don't miss it.

If you like Capitol buildings, I have not been to the Capitol building in Cheyenne for many years, but call ahead and inquire: It used to be one of my all time favorite Capitol buildings.

This area always makes me feel at home, since I have lived in both Colorado and Wyoming.
