Vedauwoo is located along Interstate I-80, about 30-miles west of Cheyenne and/or about 20-miles east of Laramie at Exit #329 (actually called the “Vedauwoo Exit”). Here are a few highlights about this intriguing location with a very strange name.

• 1.4 billion-year-old Sherman Granite towers and bewildering landforms sculpted by natural forces over eons of time.
• It’s considered the Fat Crack/Offwidth mecca of North America.
• Well over 1,000 routes are found here, certainly not all Offwidths.
