  • Table 20 Great American Rail-Trail Statistics in Wyoming
    Wyoming ROUTE Wyoming has the potential to be an incredible section of the Great American Rail-Trail. Its landscapes are unique in the United States, and Wyoming is already known for its outdoor recreation assets. Because of Wyoming’s topography, any route through Wyoming will require sizable grade increases at several locations. Local options including shuttle services could be explored to accommodate trail users who are unable to traverse these grade increases. Currently, there are not significant miles of multiuse trail that could be used to route a trail across Wyoming. However, with the statewide commitment to the project and the exceptional landscapes across the state, the Great American Rail-Trail is a viable project to help Wyoming with its outdoor recreation and tourism economy. RTC found and reviewed 20 plans in Wyoming to better understand the state’s trail priorities. A full list of these plans can be found in Appendix A.

    Camping Additional Sources for Camping Information 100 pages Day hikes Fourteeners Weekend camping 40 pages Extended Activities Helpful Tools High Adventure Camps Colorado Council Camps Nebraska Cross Country Skiing Wyoming Camping Categories Paid Campsites Primitive Camping Camps Requiring Longer Camps with Cabins Distance Travel Paid Campsites Meeker Park Overflow Boulder Ranger District Roosevelt National Forest Open/Closed: Reduced-service camping is generally available mid-June until the first weekend after Labor Day, weather permitting. Reservations Accepted: All campsites are available on a first-come, first-served basis. No campsites are available for reservations. Sites: There are 29 sites; a maximum of 8 people are allowed per site. Elevation: 8,600 feet. Maximum Vehicle Length: 30 feet. Daily fee: Campsite fees are $6.00 per day, with an additional fee of $3.00 per day for a second vehicle. Location: The campground is on the west side of Highway 7 at mile-marker 11, approximately 13 miles south of Estes Park, or 10 miles north of the Highways 72 and 7 intersections, (approximately 21 miles west-northwest of Lyons). Amenities: Fire rings, vault toilets and trash services are provided. There are no picnic tables, grills, electrical hook-ups, dump stations, drinking water stations or showers. Trip Notes: Although not a full-service campground, Meeker Park Overflow tends to fill up early, due to its proximity to Estes Park and Rocky Mountain National Park. Longs Peak Trail Head is approximately 2 miles north of the campground, and the Wild Basin Ranger Station is approximately 3 miles south. Meeker Park Overflow is more suited for tent camping than trailers or RV's, due to the unpaved roads, steep hills, and short pull-ins.
