Be prepared for awesome trails leading around and through rock formations that can woo you into trying to climb them. It is a favorite place for those who like to rappel and fine-hone their climbing skills. The use of Vedauwoo for the annual vertical dancing show took my breath away. Whether you are there to hike, climb, picnic or camp in the summer, it's also a great place to x-c ski or snowshoe in the winter. I was even surprised to see 3 moose grazing on brush- I was careful not to alarm them. I never tire of the beauty of Vedauwoo.
Took a nice hike at Box Canyon trail up to see I-80 in the distance. Enjoyed the rock formations and finding the "faces" in the rocks.
We hiked all day and loved the views! Everyone should go when visiting Laramie. Definitely coming here again when in Laramie. This could be an all day trip or just a few hours, depending on how long you want to be there.
Great for climbers (which we are not), picnics and camping. The infrastructure (camping areas and facilities) was very unobtrusive and didn't fight for attention with the gorgeous scenery.
Walking this space can be a calming, spiritual experience. My husband has gone here, several times, while on business. He brought us here - myself and son - to experience this sacred space.
Wow... spend an hour hiking its is so nice one of my best places in wyoming. It is about a 20 minute drive from Laramie. Natures best place to hike and climb
First of all, let me just say that this place took me entirely by surprise. This was an afternoon breakaway trip we took from Cheyenne, where my family and me were staying with my grandparents. My parents had told me about how they would visit this place as kids, but I wasn't expecting much.When we got to the park, the sky was getting dark and by the time we had parked, it started to pour down rain. Luckily, the weather passed quickly and we were able to hike a short trail that looped through part of the rocks. This is just a fantastic natural space and my brother, dad, sister, and I all climbed the rocks and enjoyed awesome views. Entry to the park is a $5 honor fee system, which is well worth it. There are also camping facilities. It's a great spend of an afternoon and only about 30 miles west of Cheyenne.
The area is steeped in legends and you can feel the sanctity of the place. There were many hikers around, even for early October. Easy hiking. I'm not a rock climber but I can see how it would be a great place to go. Not to be missed if you're in the area.
We lived in Laramie years ago. This trip we came back to see old sights. We went to our home, which we originally bought in 1971 for $18,200. We enjoyed downtown, and then the sights around town. Vedawoo was always a favorite. The rock formations are easy to climb and explore. And easy access to I80 just west of Laramie. If you have the time, go to this out of the way site for a great picnic or rock climbing experience.
We decided to stop here because the appearance looked so strange from I80. We were not disappointed. The rock formations are amazing! One even looked like a shark!! Please stop when going to Cheyenne, well worth it!!!
