42 miles west of Casper on U.S. Highway 20/26
A marvel of nature, this collection of intricately eroded rock formations in the midst of the prairie actually covers 320 acres. The colorful canyon walls of this convoluted geological wonderland served as a backdrop for the movie Starship Troopers in 1996. Captain Bonneville named the place the Devil’s Kitchen when coal deposits here caught fire in the 1800s and burned for years, creating a sulfurous, smoky atmosphere within the red-walled maze.
