Longboarding Bear River State Park
Our first time longboarding in Wyoming was just passed the Utah/Wyoming state line at the Bear River State Park. This state park also happens to be the first rest stop on the US80 going east into Wyoming. Pulling off the interstate into Bear River State Park we saw buffalo in the meadow and we felt welcomed to Wyoming.

Longboarding the Wetlands Loop Trail
Some people hit the jackpot on the strip in Las Vegas but we hit the jackpot by finding a lot of fun things to do off the strip in the Las Vegas area! In fact, this area has some great scenery nearby as well as exciting hikes and even hot springs. We also enjoyed the skate parks and the pump track in the area. But as far as longboarding goes, the Wetlands Loop Trail is amazing! Not just by things to do in the Las Vegas area standards but from all of our longboarding adventures this one was a lot of fun!

Longboarding Yaqui Pass
The largest hill that I skated in Anza Borrego State Park was on the S-3 near Yaqui Pass Campground. The S-3 road is also called Yaqui Pass Road. This road probably has the largest hill in the park and from the pass you can head north downhill or south downhill.

Longboarding Anza Borrego
Anza Borrego has a lot of open desert roads as well as some good hills for longboarding. This particular longboarding run is a mellow downhill run just outside of the Arroyo Salado Primitive Campground.
