Vedauwoo Gazebo

The Vedauwoo Gazebo offers a covered picnic area surrounded by unique Sherman granite boulders, slabs, and rock formations for groups of up to 30 people to gather in a beautiful outdoor setting. This facility is excellent for small weddings, family gatherings, and picnics. The gazebo itself is an octagonal shape with ten foot sides and about 500 square feet. The large grill has a 28 by 36 inch cooking surface and a 12 by 36 inch shelf. Four picnic tables are at the site and can be moved around based on the needs of the group. Four parking spots are designated for guests, so please plan vehicle use accordingly. Grills and vault toilets are provided, and drinking water may be available from a handpump in the nearby campground. The Gazebo lies within the Vedauwoo picnic area just 15 miles east of Laramie, Wyoming, at an elevation of 8,200 feet. Climbing, hiking, mountain biking, and horseback riding are all popular activities throughout the Vedauwoo area. The Medicine Bow-Routt National Forests and Thunder Basin National Grassland encompass nearly 3 million acres from central and northeastern Wyoming to north-central Colorado. Lodgepole pine, aspen, fir, spruce, and shrubs dominate the landscape of the national forests. The Grassland boasts numerous species of grasses and wildflowers that add color to the landscape during warmer months. Black bear, bobcat, coyote, elk, mule deer, pronghorn antelope, and moose are just some of the many animals that inhabit these rich and diverse lands. Many more outdoor opportunities exist in the surrounding national forests and grasslands, including hiking, biking, climbing, camping, horseback and off-road vehicle riding, fishing, hunting, sightseeing, and winter sports.
