Visitor & Driver Tips

During the winter months, be sure to exercise caution when driving in northern Wyoming; keep ice scrapers handy and watch for packed snow or ice during sudden blizzards. When arriving after dark, keep your headlights on until parked to illuminate walking paths. If traveling with an oversized rig or hitch attachment, park along outer perimeter stalls to maintain sufficient turnaround space for other motorists.
