Vedauwoo 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".
The area is within
Medicine Bow - Routt National Forest and includes a day-use
picnic area and an overnight
campground. Vedauwoo is 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.
