This morning, Charlotte and I headed to Vedauwoo (which, like most places back east with Native American names, is pronounced differently than it's spelled, but we'll need to practice a few more times before we tell you how it's said).
At any rate, Vedauwoo is located only about a 15-20 minute drive from Laramie, at about 8,200', and packs a lot of cool outdoor sights into a small hike! In only about 4 or so miles, we managed to see:
Aspen and pine forests...
Running water...
Several beaver ponds...
...and even a flowering cactus!!!
We also seemed to notice that they seem to have a few rocks lying around Vedauwoo!
Actually, Vedauwoo is one of the most famous rock climbing spots around, as it turns out. So, in addition to the amazing rock formations, we were even able to glimpse a couple climbers. This is definitely a place that we'll be returning to many, many times during our time in the West!
