Casper

Casper, being Wyoming’s second largest city, lies in the heart of the mountain west along the path of the Oregon Trail and straddling the North Platte River.

Its central location makes it a heart of industry and commerce in Wyoming, serving as a base for many energy service companies that work in the state’s oil, gas, and uranium fields. The city serves as a transportation hub for the state and has an international airport, railway service, and a significant transloading facility. Casper College, Wyoming’s largest junior college, and joint facilities of Casper College and the University of Wyoming, make Casper one of Wyoming’s centers for education. It boasts a Level II trauma hospital as well as a private surgical hospital and numerous surgery centers. With a large number of specialists, the city has a vibrant and thriving health care community. Finally, with a ski area, reservoir, kayak park, four golf courses and blue ribbon trout fishing all within a twenty minute drive, Casper proves to be a great place not only to work, but to live.
