Hell's Half Acre
Hell's Half Acre is a large scarp located about 40 miles (64 km) west of Casper, Wyoming on US 20/26. Encompassing 320 acres (1.3 km2), this geologic oddity is composed of deep ravines, caves, rock formations and hard-packed eroded earth. Hell's Half Acre was used as the location for the fictional planet of Klendathu in the movie Starship Troopers.
The location was known as "The Devil's Kitchen", "The Pits of Hades", and "The
Baby Grand Canyon" until a cowhand appeared and thought he was at Hell's Half
Acre, an area southwest of Casper full of alkali and bogs.
Native American tribes used the ravines to drive bison to their death during their hunts.
As of December 2005, the roadside restaurant and motel/campground sitting atop
the ravine were closed. The motel and the abandoned restaurant have since been
torn down. The area is fenced off, but there is an interpretive sign west of the
former restaurant.
