No buildings remain, but the gorge is still a stop -- or a park and nap in our case. The weird part is the chain link and barbed wire fence surrounding all of it.

An interpretive sign at the site gives historical information about Hell's Half Acre. There is a paved pull-off, but the area around the fenced-in portion is uneven with several potholes. Sunset is a great time to visit.
[Jenny, 08/25/2019]There is a gravel lot surrounded by a tall barbed wire fence. Only a small shack remains at the entrance to the lot. There is a sign at the entrance with details.
[Tntnbeccatravels, 07/31/2017]It's too bad this place is closed and soon to be demolished. Several others and I worked there for the summer of 1970. It was a summer job and we had a good time way out there in no man's land. The only way to Casper was to catch a greyhound or drive. I am going to be taking a Wyo drive again. I worked in Yellowstone Park for a summer.
