About Glenrock

Vision Statement

Glenrock is a vibrant, growing, and caring community.

Welcome to Glenrock, WY, County of Converse! We are the most friendly and welcoming hometown community in the Rocky Mountain region. We have several amenities of a metro area and what we don’t have is within short 20 minute drives to Casper, Natrona County (the 2nd largest metropolitan area in the state of Wyoming) or Douglas, along I-25. Both Converse and Natrona Counties have diverse outdoor recreation opportunities and a host of indoor recreation opportunities. From hunting & fishing, golf, theater, fantastic shopping and wonderful dining, Glenrock is in the center of it all!
