Vedauwoo


Vedauwoo (/ˈviːdəvuː/) is an area of rocky outcrops (Sherman Granite) located in southeastern Wyoming, United States, north of Interstate 80, between Laramie and Cheyenne. Its name, according to some, is a romanized version of the Arapaho word "bito'o'wu" meaning "earth-born".

Vedauwoo is located in the Medicine Bow - Routt National Forest in the Pole Mountain Recreation Area. It has day-use picnic areas, an overnight campground, dispersed campsites, and trails. It is also a popular climbing area.

Interstate 80 passes just south of the main rock outcroppings and well-marked highway signs indicate the exit to use in order to reach Vedauwoo. An alternative is to drive in from the Happy Jack road that runs between Laramie and Cheyenne.
