Discover the unique geologic wonder of Hell's Half Acre in Casper, Wyoming, a horseshoe-shaped gorge filled with jagged rock spires sculpted by an ancient offshoot of the Powder River. This offbeat attraction gained fame as a filming location for scenes in the movie Starship Troopers, offering visitors a glimpse into a surreal alien landscape.

Although the former Hell's Half Acre Restaurant has since been demolished, the eerie gorge remains fenced off but visible to curious onlookers, with plans to potentially reopen to the public in the near future. Explore this one-of-a-kind destination where nature's chaotic beauty meets a touch of Hollywood magic.

The buildings are all gone now, but the view is the same as it's ever been. Definitely worth the stop just to get out and stretch your legs. Do be on the lookout for buzzworms, it's classic...
