Join a group hike to the incredibly rare rock formations found in the Medicine Bow Mountains will begin at 3pm. Naturalist Gary Beauvais will lead the hike. Directions from Laramie: Take Highway 130 west to Centennial, continuing on up the
mountain, past Snowy Mountain Lodge, to intersection (8 mi.
from Centennial) with well-marked road to “Mountain Mead
ow Cabins.” Stay on 130 for 2.6 miles past this road junction,
then turn right on unimproved dirt road ( g. 7). is is the road
meeting 130 in SW1/4, sec. 16, T. 16N, R. 79W. on the Medi
cine Bow Peak 7 ½ minute quadrangle (WP 001). e turno
is unmarked along 130, but a “Brooklyn Lake Road 3 mi.” sign
appears soon after entering the side road. One-half mile on this
rutted road (about 4 minutes at the necessary 10 to 12 mph
speed) brings you to a wide spot on the left side with parking
space for two or three vehicles if parked diagonally ( g. 8) (WP
002). Park here and proceed on foot along the abandoned but
still visible two-track road leading straight ahead from the parking
site (where it is blocked by boulders).
