Centennial

Centennial, a small town in Colorado, offers year-round recreation. The 300 or so locals at the foot of the Snowy Range Mountains are big on hospitality. Gold was discovered on Centennial Mountain in the late 1800s. After only two years, the main vain vanished into a fault line and was never recovered. The Snowy Range and Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest contain some of Wyoming's most underappreciated and breathtaking scenery. Medicine Bow Peak, Bomber Mountain, and Sugarloaf Mountain can all be seen as you travel along the Snowy Range Scenic Byway, which connects Saratoga and Laramie.

The town of Centennial is located in the center. This tiny town is jam-packed with history and activities, as well as scenery and a small-town way of life that will steal your heart. You'll feel like you've rolled back in time to the Wild West when you arrive in town! Stay at a dude ranch outside of town and dine at the Old Corral Restaurant and Steakhouse for a Cowboy-inspired meal. You'll feel right at home here. Explore the forest, where stunning views and well-maintained trails keep you away from the crowds found in other Colorado and Wyoming national parks and forests. The Centennial Depot, also known as the Nici Self Museum, provides a glimpse into the region's history. You'll learn a lot and see some fascinating historical artifacts. Of course, since this is the Snowy Range, you should dress for winter weather even in the fall. If you're lucky, a snow squall will cover the mountains in a beautiful blanket of white.
