H I K I N G H I K I N G There are many trails that thread through the Greater Vedauwoo area. Some of these are indicated on the aerial shots of Central Vedauwoo and Upper & Lower Blair. Another is the Turtle Rock Trail (TRT), a 3 mile long, USFS - constructed trail that circumnavigates the entire "Turtle Rock Massif". One trailhead is found at the Holy Saturday parking lot. Originally a climbers trail providing access to more remote areas, it was upgraded in 1997 to accommodate day hikers and mountain bikes. You can see this trail on the little MAP, top right of Central Vedauwoo Page. The Box Canyon Trail (BCT) is seen on this same little MAP, and maybe better on THIS map. It follows an old Forest Service Nature Trail to near the top of Glen Dome where great views of the entire area can be found. There are some great trails around the Reynold's Area and in the Outback, some of which are seldom used. Some of these link this area to Blair, an outstanding day trip.
E X I S T I N G T R A I L S Here's the first effort at a map of existing trails in the Greater Vedauwoo area. It will be improved upon in time, however it is noteworthy that there is a fairly detailed system of trails to be taken advantage of. Many are simply not used much at all, such as the Reynolds to Blair Trails, while the main trails are used heavily. Check it out and go exploring!! NOTE: Black = roads, light blue = streams, dark blue = major known formations, red = existing trails.
