The facility, located on the east side of Interstate 25 at the new High Plains Road exit (Exit 4) near the Colorado/Wyoming border, will give visitors an impressive start to their travels in the state. The $13 million public investment will direct tourists to many interesting Wyoming locations they might otherwise miss and includes an exhibit showcasing the region’s early inhabitants in the form of a Columbian Mammoth cast.
