What do I need to know about the Wyoming State Parks Tour Step Challenge?
You’re invited on a six-week adventure to boost your mental and physical health, earn Walkingspree points, and enter to win gift cards along the way!

Here’s what you need to know about the Wyoming State Parks Tour Step Challenge!
What are the benefits of doing a step challenge?
Joining a step challenge is wonderful motivation to get outside and enjoy our beautiful Wyoming summer.
Additionally, spending time in nature has numerous benefits for your mental health, including lowered stress, increased feelings of relaxation, and increased happiness.
With new step goals each week, you’ll be challenged to venture outside your normal routine and add in more opportunities to get those steps in—like taking a walk over lunch, enjoying a hike with family or friends, or exploring a new route next time you walk the dog.
What is the Wyoming State Parks Tour Step Challenge?
From Saturday, July 1, through Friday, August 11, we’ll be “visiting” six Wyoming state parks via the Walkingspree app:
- July 1-7: Keyhole
- July 8-14: Hot Springs
- July 15-21: Edness K. Wilkins (EKW)
- July 22-28: Guernsey
- July 29-August 4: Curt Gowdy
- Aug 5-11: Bear River
Each week, you’ll walk your way “through” each park by meeting a specific daily step challenge, which increases each week:
- KEYHOLE: 5,000 avg. steps/day
- HOT SPRINGS: 6,000 avg. steps/day
- EKW: 7,000 avg. steps/day
- GUERNSEY: 8,000 avg. steps/day
- CURT GOWDY: 9,000 avg. steps/day
- BEAR RIVER: 10,000 avg. steps/day
How do the Wyoming State Parks come into the challenge?
Each week highlights a different park, and each day of that week challenges you to meet a specific step goal.
As you walk your way “through” that week’s featured park, you’ll track your progress on a map in the Walkingspree app.
On the map, you can tap specific markers to learn interesting facts about the park you’re “visiting.”
Additionally, if you visit any of the featured state parks in person during the challenge, you can enter to win a gift card!
Send your photo and the name of the park you’re exploring to WyomingHealthyLife@CignaHealthCare.com, and we’ll enter you into a raffle drawing for a gift card.
(We’ll be doing a drawing for each location, so be sure to submit a photo for each location you visit, whether that’s 1 or all 6!)
What can I earn for participating?
- Up to 6 badges (200 points each) for completing each week’s daily step challenges and logging them in your Walkingspree app
- Earn a total of 1200 points for completing the full challenge and earning all 6 badges
- Chance to win a gift card by visiting 1 or more parks in person
- Send a photo of the park you’re exploring to WyomingHealthyLife@CignaHealthCare.com to be entered into the raffle drawing
