Wyoming is a gorgeous state, and there are rivers, creeks, and waterfalls all over. One of the best trails in the state leads right to a hidden waterfall, and it’s worth tracking down for a hike you will return to again and again.
Curt Gowdy State Park is one of Wyoming’s hidden gems, and the Crow Creek Trail is a hike that any adventurer will fall in love with.
