On my first serous excursion to Wyoming in 2007, the first stop was Ayres Park and Natural Bridge. This oasis on the plains is located in a red sandstone canyon and features a 50 ft high and 100 ft long natural bridge with a 90 ft wide x 20 ft high opening cut by LaPrele Creek. A short, steep hiking trail leads to the top of the natural bridge. The park is beautiful, green, and shady and provides an excellent place to have a picnic lunch. The park is located 5 miles south of I-25 about 17 mi west of Douglas, and is popular with Douglas residents.
