Lee McCune Braille Trail Opens for the Summer Season on Casper Mountain
CASPER, Wyo. — Summer 2026 — The Casper Mountain Lions Club is pleased to announce that the Lee McCune Braille Trail is now open for the 2026 summer season, welcoming visitors of all ages and abilities to experience one of Casper Mountain’s most unique outdoor destinations.
Nestled among towering pine trees and alongside the soothing sounds of Elkhorn Creek, the Lee McCune Braille Trail offers an opportunity to connect with nature through all the senses. Designed to be accessible for individuals who are blind or visually impaired, the trail also provides a meaningful and enjoyable experience for families, hikers, students, and visitors seeking a peaceful mountain retreat. The Braille Trail has long been recognized as a distinctive recreational and educational resource on Casper Mountain.
Visitors are encouraged to slow down and experience the mountain in a different way—listening to the flowing creek, feeling the textures of bark and stone, breathing in the fresh mountain air, and enjoying the sights and sounds of Wyoming’s beautiful outdoors.
“The Braille Trail is more than just a hiking trail,” said representatives of the Casper Mountain Lions Club. “It is a place where people can connect with nature, learn about accessibility, and appreciate the outdoors through all of their senses.”
Throughout the spring, volunteers worked to prepare the trail for the summer season, helping ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all visitors. The Casper Mountain Lions Club continues its commitment to maintaining and improving the trail so it remains accessible for future generations.
Guests are invited to sign the newly updated trail guestbook during their visit. Comments and stories help celebrate the trail’s impact and honor the legacy of Lee McCune. Donations are also appreciated and help support ongoing maintenance, safety improvements, and accessibility enhancements.
Whether you are a first-time visitor or returning to a favorite Casper Mountain destination, the Lee McCune Braille Trail offers a unique opportunity to experience Wyoming’s outdoors in a thoughtful and memorable way.
