Let's leave this beautiful place as beautiful as it was before we came, so that others can experience this awe-inspiring spot. By the way, the park is NOT right off of the highway. It is probably at least a 5-10 minute drive off of the highway, all the way down Ayres Natural Bridge Rd. There is NO cell connection by the time that you get to the park area/camping site. Your phone's GPS gets you where you need to be, and then follow the paved road down. There are private properties around, so be aware. You honestly can't comprehend the true beauty until you are actually there. Pictures do not do this park justice.

It forms part of the Reservation set up in July 3, 1868, under the leadership of Chief Washakie of the Eastern Shoshone (Sheep Eater) Indians. The Wind River actually runs north through this gorge (unusual in America) and joins the Bighorn (of George Armstrong Custer fame) at Thermopolis. So much for the facts. This chasm is so deep, that the sun starts to set before you even get used to it rising. The rapids twist and turn so often, that within minutes you are lost in another world. The walls are so high, that halfway down you start thinking about earthquakes and rock slides and the bars that have vanished from your cellphone. It is a thrilling, intimidating, exhilarating, spiritual ride, and the biggest adrenalin rush you will ever feel at 30kph. And then you arrive at the Boysen Reservoir, a vast, windswept, desert lake in the middle of nowhere - as open and expansive a place as the canyon was closed and urgent. It all makes for a very strange experience, and a reminder of how much more there is to Wyoming than first met your eye.

Also has a older playground area with metal and plastic structures and a couple swings. The playground surface was kind of weird though, with rocks and what looked like shredded black plastic rather than wood chips or sand. It made me a little nervous, but we don't go through there often so I tried not to stress on it. My 1.5yr old son seemed to enjoy himself. The rest of the park was just grass with a few more picnic areas.

What a great town park. Glenrock Town Park is located near Deer Creek, but accessible via Birch…read moreStreet, one of the town's main streets. The entrance off Birch Street takes you under a railroad trestle and as you enter the park, the first thing you'll notice is the number of trees. Had I not seen the picnic tables, baseball field, tennis courts, the playground equipment, and what looked like a skate park, once I passed under that trestle, I'd have thought I was in a mini forest. I was really impressed with this nice, well-kept park. As a bonus, there's an easy walking path nearby -- that's a little over two miles long -- and is a good way to enjoy nature or do something with the family after you've had your picnic. Glenrock Town Park is near an RV Campground -- I didn't notice that until I got to the back of the park -- but for anyone camping there, they have a buffer from the noise. Not only because of the trees, but because this park is only open from sunrise to ten at night.

Hell's Half Acre was one of the MOST ACCESSIBLE AND PICTURESQUE ROADSIDE STOPS along my cross…read morecountry road trip! I knew about this place prior to visiting. I knew I wanted to come here. I had read that Hell's Half Acre was a fantastic roadside attraction and it did not disappoint! After spending the prior day servicing my car, grabbing supplies, food and gas in Casper, Wyoming for continuing on my summer journey...I then headed straight here to witness if Hell's Half Acre was as good as what I had seen on the internet. Yeah so it's located 44 miles west of Casper and I simply plugged Hell's Half Acre into Google Maps and had no problems finding it. Reception along Highway 26 in Wyoming was just fine for me. And...it's as basic of a roadside stop as it gets. No sugar coating anything. There's a sign saying that I was here and I easily turned into the parking lot. At first I thought to myself....um, "maybe this won't be good?" Is this really what I drove all the way here for?" But...upon getting out of my car and heading straight to the overview...I was quite impressed. It was beautiful. For anyone who knows and appreciates the badlands scenery and terrain....then Hell's Half Acre is for you! I was very appreciative. Not only were the badlands expansive and dramatic, but they were colorful as well. I'd say there were lots of purple and white colors embedded all along the cracks and curves. It was pretty. Now...okay yeah, so there's a fence built up surrounding the entire overlook. But, I mean cmon...there was no way to truly enjoy what Hell's Half Acre was all about while standing behind a fence. No way! So...along not 1, but 2 parts of the fencing....there were easy spots where I crawled underneath the fencing to access closer views of the badlands. Yep I did this! For sure! I mean...there were no security guards and or enforcement on duty to prevent you from getting a closer look. There was virtually no one even there. And for me...I'm not the type to risk my safety just for photos, but I promise...crawling underneath the fencing was perfectly fine. The 1st area I crawled underneath was off to the side while I was investigating even if Hell's Half Acre could be better accessed. It was off to the left hand side while I ventured away from the parking area. I crawled underneath, walked along an entirely lengthy and grassy area that extended pretty far, but...I got much better aspects to the badlands for my picture taking. It was definitely worth it! The 2nd part where I found the best spot to crawl underneath the fencing was right at the immediate and main parking lot. Basically, you can't miss it....because, all you have to do is look for the area and spacing available where an actual human body can fit properly under and then you'll know it's the one, lol! Once again, this 2nd spot was right at and or in the parking lot. And...this is where I received some pretty magical views from. It was quite memorable! Once I crawled under the fence I then walked towards the end of the ledge/viewpoint....and I promise....this was totally safe and in no way did I put myself in any type of endangerment. But yeah...this viewpoint from the ledge was fantastic. I was able to see the badlands much better and my perspectives weren't hindered with a fence! My photos came out wonderfully, especially because I visited in the morning with the sun appearing at my back. And from this angle, I snapped plenty of terrific pictures as the badlands offered so many different aspects to gaze upon. Funny, for what you'd expect to be quick a roadside stop....since I discovered these 2 spots to crawl under the fence...I actually spent about 90 minutes hanging out. Overall I just admired what Hell's Half Acre was about. And yeah, for being in the middle of nowhere...I was quite happy and left here with a sense of fulfillment for having visited. From Hell's Half Acre I was continued along my drive 82 miles northwest towards Wind River Canyon Scenic Byway and eventually to one of the best drives in the USA....Beartooth Highway ultimately leading into Yellowstone National Park. I highly recommend making an effort to see what Hell's Half Acre is all about. The statuesque badlands at this roadside stop were very photogenic and I really enjoyed my time here. And I promise...crawling under the fencing to gain more accessibility to the viewpoint of the badlands was quite fine! No one was even around when I visited in August and it certainly made for my photos to be much more cherishing now when I look back upon them.

We didn't even see another visitor while looking around, but it is absolutely surreal. I wish we could see more, the whole view was closed of with metal fence. If there was a facility with entrance fee and somebody to show us in, we would happily pay and take the tour. Locals call these places badlands. You might not be able to grow crops in this area, but we found it very special. I believe I read that Indians were using the area to hunt.. they would make large herds of animals jump off the cliff while trying to escape.

Not only did we see dogs running around loose, they also left several large craps right in front of our door. Which then brought out all the flies.
