The trail is currently closed. There's a barrier at Waypoint 2. Beware of the deceivingly deep snow there – we had to pull somebody out of there.

The snow and the Wyoming winds have taken their toll on this road for the season. Drifting snow makes it impassable for now.

Fun and scenic dirt road that can be driven by practically any vehicle. There are dispersed camping along the main road, but take the offshoot trails as better campsites are often found there.

Found this one by chance. Beautiful first-time trail but watch out for random cows around every turn.

A nice easy road with a number of fun spurs and off chutes. Plenty of dispersed camping, but even being on a Monday it was busy. Beautiful area and being so close we will definitely be frequenting the area a lot!

Easy trail with no obstacles. Great for a family day trip with the kids and doggos.

Open and easily passable. There are a few snow drifts in the usual spots, but they are all packed down with plenty of vehicles driving the trail. Southern Wyoming has not had much snow yet allowing for easy access with the right vehicle. Stock jeeps, for example, will find the trail passable. With the notorious Wyoming winds, it will not take much snow to change the trail's condition quickly.

It's a dirt road, more Subarus than 4 wheel drives. Very crowded.

Ran this road today, scoping out a camp site for the weekend. There are literally dozens of spurs off of FR 700 before you hit Road 210. Some spurs are short, some are long and nearly all of them provided some fun puddles and mud holes to go through. The road was butter smooth and had barely any washboards. Any car can easily do this. Camping allowed only in designated spots with USFS markers.

The Pole Mountain Forest Service area is finally fully open. The snow is nearly gone with only a patch or two left in the trees. The road was in great shape and there were many visitors enjoying the wonders of Wyoming. The weather remains a bit on the cool side as daytime highs on this trip hovered just under 50 degrees. Brrr. Still better than being cooped up at home.

Vedauwoo Road is open for the season. Some of the spurs remain closed in the area to protect resources due to the late snow season this year.

Seasonal Closure

Visited: 03/15/2019

It is the off-season for Vedauwoo Road and the route is closed until mid-May. I took the opportunity to visit the US Forest Service office located in Laramie, Wyoming to talk about recent changes in the Pole Mountain District. The roads in the Pole Mountain District, including Vedauwoo Road, have recently been subject to a new travel management plan. Some changes include new seasonal dates, camping restrictions and some permanently roads closed. Vedauwoo Road remains open (with seasonal restrictions) and popular. If you collect the Forest Service MVUM maps, a new map has been published for this area and reflects the new management travel plan for Pole Mountain District. Make sure you get the map published in 2018. You can count on TrailsOffRoad.com to keep information up-to-date when changes are made to Forest Service Roads.

The winter time can be a bit of a tenuous time to ride the trails in Southern Wyoming because of the wind and snow. We knew that snow drifts along Vedauwoo Road were possible this mid-December week. Although most of the terrrain was clear of snow, several large drifts crossed the road in 6-8 locations to create some obstacles worthy of testing your off-road ride. The route remains open for now, but additional snow forecasted around the Christmas week could change conditions. When in this area, please remain on the road and do not create your own path around the snow obstacles. Please Stay-the-Trail. Happy Wheeling
