Small enough to wrap your hands around but packed with really good information. There is also an interactive "river crossing" where you are in a wagon and it moves a bit to simulate crossing a river. Really unique and i appreciated the experience. The employees were also exceedingly friendly and went out of their way to engage with us, teach us what they found interesting and gave a nice restaurant recommendation to boot. Definitely add this to a trip to Casper.

Secondly, its free! Clean rest rooms and lots of historic information about Casper and the local areas. The staff are very helpful and knowledgeable about all the local history. You'll learn about the migrants on the Oregon Trail, (yes the video game is based on a true story) Farmers going to Oregon, Gold miners going to Sacramento and San Fran, (the original 49ers) and the Mormoms going through to SLC. There are interesting exhibits, videos and a large auditorium show of life on the trail, which is really rather informative. The museum covers trails before the migrants, settlers moving across US and the progress of the Pony Express, Telegraph and Railroads. The museum has a few neat simulators for kids such as riding a prairie cart through the river. Sitting in a Wells Fargo stage coach and even experience how it was to pull a 150lb hand cart through the 1000 miles of wilderness. Definitely worth your time, can be done in 1 hour, most likely take 2.

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.
