      Serenity Trail
      #serenitytrail

      Before the Flying V Trails there was the Serenity Trail. Located just 3 miles north of town and offers 2 loops, either 2 or 4 miles. Living up to its name as the Serenity Trail, these few miles of trail offer a much-needed escape from the hectic day-to-day. As you weave your way through the ponderosa pine forest and navigate the canyons, you can find your own peace and serenity.

      The land is owned by the State of Wyoming and the City of Newcastle pays the lease for the trails. A big thank you to the City of Newcastle for their support

      Come and check out what the Serenity Trail has to offer. Take a walk among the pines and winding trails.
