The Glendo area offers many points of interest and attractions: The California Trail, The Oregon Trail, and The Mormon Trail all passed south of Glendo.   Sightseers have a seemingly endless supply of beauty in the mountains and canyons, rolling plains, sparkling streams, and Glendo Lake.

Glendo is the gateway to the scenic Medicine Bow Mountains and Laramie Peak, a beacon to wary travelers and the birthplace of the Laramide Orogeny, a period of mountain building in western North America which began 70-80 million years ago. Miles of trails for hiking, biking and trail riding are located in the boundaries of the Medicine Bow National Forest, as well as improved campgrounds and primitive camp sites. 

Glendo is a community small in number yet Big In Heart! Incorporated on May 20, 1922, the entire Glendo area is rich in history. Glendo began as one of the first of five telegraph stations of the Overland Stage Express at the Horseshoe Stage Station. The town was established at its present location when the railroad came through.

Glendo is a recreational paradise that is composed of roughly 22,000 acres to satisfy your inner adventurer. Glendo is located on the eastern plains of Wyoming. To the west of the park is Laramie Peak, the tallest point in eastern Wyoming. https://wyoparks.wyo.gov/index.php/places-to-go/glendo
