Crimson Dawn Park and Museum — Local services in Wyoming

We had our wedding booked for nearly 2 years. 6 days before our wedding day, they cancelled, claiming there would be nobody up there to let us in despite being in season. They offered the meadow at the base of the hill before the park, which had no trails and logs in the way so it wasn't disability friendly at all and could not be used. To have your dream spot carefully planned for 2 yrs, only to be uprooted entirely days before... Our wedding photos now have mismatched chairs in them because it was such short notice we couldn't find chairs for the new location. You get what you pay for and we didn't think the $50 wedding reservation fee was red flag enough I suppose. Pretty disappointed as this had been a favorite spot of ours for years and this isn't the first issue; we walked a half mile to the midsummer event to be denied entry for our small old dog. We had to walk that distance back to the car with small kids. CD typically allows leashed pets and there wasn't any signage or warning to not bring pets to this particular event a few yrs back. So sad, definitely lost its magic to us and other areas of the mountain are significantly more gorgeous-- like the spot we found for our wedding. Better views and more flora variety down the road. Three stars because we used to love this place. Nothing interesting being done with it over the yrs along with our experiences, it's become nothing more than a quick casual visit...

Crimson Dawn has always been a very special place to me. I grew up walking the trails, reading the stories, and going to the Midsummer’s Eve festival. In high school, I wrote my capstone paper on the folklore and history of the area. So of course, when wedding planning started and we wanted to get married on the mountain, Crimson Dawn came up. For only $50, you can rent the Woodland Theater on the property which is an absolutely beautiful spot. We reserved the venue in January for our August wedding and had absolutely no issues whatsoever with getting the reservation or getting into the park the day of. Our guests were enamored by the beauty of the area as I have always been. This place shaped me and is now a part of my life story...

A neat place to find in Wyoming. The story of the 3 witches along with the Cardinal Witch and the blind minstrel we're neat to read about. A cool little park with a museum, unfortunately closed the day we were there, July 4th, a neat hiking trail with factoids along the way. Some amazing views of Casper and the surrounding area. Would be neat to go on the summer solstice when they have bonfires across the mountains, according to one sign anyways... If you get the chance to visit do so, you don't be...
