With some awesome day trip options available in the surrounding area, having your own car makes good sense. Without one, it wouldn’t be half as easy to explore everything that Cheyenne, 18 miles away, has to offer. Cheyenne Frontier Days Old West Museum ought to be at the top of your list here. Wyoming State Capitol and Cheyenne Botanic Gardens are interesting attractions too. Don’t forget about Fort Collins either! Just 55 miles away, Fort Collins Lincoln Center, Fort Collins Museum of Discovery and Edora Pool Ice Center are essential stops here.
