Vedauwoo Glen Road

Vedauwoo Road is an easy back-country road in the Medicine Bow National Forest between Cheyenne and Laramie, Wyoming. A Native American name, the word Vedauwoo (pronounced Vee-da-voo) means “Land of the earth-born spirits.” The giant rock piles and outcroppings along Vedauwoo Road are Sherman Granite and contain an abundance of feldspar, giving the rock its distinctive pink color.

Many words can be used to describe Vedauwoo Road, but arguably the first two could be 'Accessible Camping'. This area is a popular destination for hiking, rock climbing, biking, and camping. As such, camping is strictly only allowed at developed campgrounds or at one of the over 70 designated sites. This trail guide does not include Waypoints for every site, but rather marks locations of camping spurs and other important features along the trail. A map of designated campsites is available at the Waypoint 2 signage, and the full list of rules is in the Camping section of this guide.

Whether you're chasing technical climbing routes or a weekend away to camp among the unique rock features of eastern Wyoming, Vedauwoo will certainly be a special treat!
