Vedauwoo Camping

 

   Our last two days in Wyoming were spent at the Vedauwoo's in southeastern Wyoming, about 20 miles east of Laramie just off of I-80. The area is comprised of unusual granite rock formations that are popular with rock climbers. Access to the area is free however there is an area for day use and a campground that requires a fee. We decided to stay at the campground which has level paved sites for $10 per night. There are nice fire rings and picnic tables at each campsite. Clean pit toilets are also available. The weather was nice but a little on the cool side with highs around 60 and lows around freezing. At 8,500' elevation it's going to be a little cooler than the nearby cities of Cheyenne and Laramie.
   We really enjoyed our 2 months and 12 days in Wyoming this summer. The time has passed quickly but the weather is beginning to turn colder so it's time to start making our way back to the east and eventually to the deep south.

Some of the best rock climbing in the country is in this area.
