Best Time to Camp at Vedauwoo Gazebo

At 8,200 feet, The Gazebo experiences true mountain weather—crisp mornings give way to warm afternoons during summer months, when wildflowers paint the meadows in brilliant purples, yellows, and reds. The high elevation means cooler temperatures than the surrounding plains, offering a refreshing escape during warmer months. Come prepared for afternoon thunderstorms in summer and rapidly changing conditions that are characteristic of Wyoming's high country.
