Garden Creek Falls

Reviewed By OnYourMarkTravel - Wyoming, United States

Given that Casper is pretty isolated, I think that it has some beautiful features, one being these water falls. They are very popular and the water flow can vary during the season. The area around the falls is well maintained and has some wonderful picnic spots. They have also added better walkways and viewing decks. My children love to visit these falls when we come to Casper. It is an easy little hike for them as well as my elderly parents.

Beautiful scenery. Make sure to stop at the look out area on the way to Rotary Falls. The falls are relaxing and benches are available. Very short hike to the falls and pretty easy to navigate.
