Pic Bridge Access Boating and Floating the North Platte River hether your idea of fun is a lazy afternoon on tranquil waters or a heart-pounding whitewater Wadventure, the North Platte River has what you’re looking for. With one of the most diverse ecosystems in southern Wyoming, the North Platte has a wide variety of wildlife to see and fish to catch. One way to explore this unique waterway is by floating it on a boat or raft. Though the river can be tricky, and even dangerous in places, there are plenty of seasoned local guides who can help enthusiasts who are unfamiliar with the area. It’s important to note that each person in a boat or raft is required to have a life preserver. Another consequential rule to remember is, that in the state of Wyoming, water flowing over private land is public, but the underlying river beds and adjacent shorelines are still considered private. Signs found along many portions of the North Platte indicate whether land is public or private and can be helpful to those floating the river. Public access to the North Platte is dependent on mutual respect between private property owners and the boaters and fishermen who float the river. Generally, the river flows best for fishing and rafting during June and July. By these months, the water has usually stabilized from spring and early summer run-off, and fishing is good for both spinning tackle and fly-fishing. In addition to life preservers, boaters should take along sunscreen, plenty of water, a dry bag with warm clothing and perhaps a wetsuit. North Platte water remains cold late into the summer and those floating should be prepared. Float times vary depending on how high the river is running, so some flexibility should be built into the timetable of any trip.

    Are We There Yet? Auto Landscapes and Tourism, 1913–1975 Elizabeth Crawley King Forward The Wyoming State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) conducted this study to identify important places associated with transportation and tourism. Beth King, historic preservation specialist and former SHPO staff member, directed and completed the survey with the assistance of Erin Dorbin, SHPO intern, and Richard Collier, our now retired professional photographer. This work represents a comprehensive statewide study of cultural resources associated with auto tourism and transportation. We hope you enjoy learning about the history of our tourism industry and the development of Wyoming towns around our U.S. Highway system.

    ROAD TRIPS OF AMERICA Introduction The American Road—written about in books and poems, sung about in songs, and immortalized on film. It’s a symbol of freedom—a way to somewhere else… anywhere else. It’s no wonder, then, that each year all over the U.S., families, friends, and even solo travelers pack up their cars and hit the road. There’s probably no better way to see the country than on a road trip—traveling down the highways at speed, with vast landscapes painting a moving picture across your windshield. In this book you’ll find guides to 15 must-do road trips in the United States. From the changing colors of tree-lined New England turnpikes to panoramic views of the Pacific Coast Highway, we’ve got you covered. Additionally, we’ll guide you through each state you’ll visit—pointing out the sights, scenes, and attractions along the way. So grab your keys and your favorite road trip junk food (yeah, it’s a thing), and get ready for the ride. NOTE: Things happen, and some of the places mentioned in this guidebook might not be available to you when you need them to be. It’s never a bad idea to call ahead or check online to make sure.
