Desc: The Headquarters Trail accesses some of the most unique country of this region. Ponderosa Pine groves, mixed with wildflower meadows and beautifully colored granite rock formations make this easily accessible trail a must for all outdoor enthusiasts. Hiking, biking and horseback riding are the most popular activities found along the trail. In winter, portions of the trail are groomed for nordic and skate skiing. Wildlife abounds during the spring, summer and fall. Only 15 minutes from Laramie and 25 miles minutes from Cheyenne, this remarkable oasis is certainly worth stopping for when traveling in southeast Wyoming.
