Things to do with Kids in Wyoming
This year our out west adventure brought us to the area of the Snowy Mountains and it was one of my favorites so far.
These are the hikes we did - we found that 4 miles was just about perfect for our 3 year old. She would hike about half of the trail and ride in her pack about half of it.
Silver Lake & Meadow Falls Loop. This was my favorite hike of the trip. You get some challenging elevation and a beautiful view the entire time. It goes up high so you can overlook the area and there are also areas you can be right down at the lake.
Lake Marie. This lake has really fun fishing and a beautiful hike. You can go up to the peak but its pretty rocky so we turned around about 2/3 the way up and headed back down to do some fishing.
Rick Martin Memorial Park. This park is in Riverside - about 30 minutes from the Snowy’s but if you are in the area its a super nice spot to let the kids run. It has a huge old school metal slide, a full set up for disc golf and a full size horseshoe set up for the adults.
Bear Trap Pizza in Riverside is hands down the best pizza I have ever had. We probably ate it 4 times.
There are so many hiking trails and side-by-side trails in the Encampment/Saratoga/Snowy Mountain area that you will not be short for things to do.
The app All Trails helped me a ton when picking trails that would be good for my little one.

Child Timberland Boots (I’ve actually bought these 4 times for her as her feet have grown - I love them THAT much)
Women’s Waterproof hiking boots - I’ve had these for 3 years and LOVE them.
Women’s Hiking pants - I have 4 pairs of these and they hold up so well.
Water Reservoir - saves from taking lots of bottles of water water and littles can reach it while they are riding in the pack for quick drinks of water.
