Access Issue: Temporary Notice on aerial herbicide treatment & Bad Bolt Submission Form
Details
PSA for those thinking about a trip. The gates are still closed and the sign says enter at your own risk. "Aerial application by helicopter of the herbicide Rejuvra will target over 5,700 acres on a landscape that has been the focus of multiple years’ worth of treatment."

Description
Reynolds Hill is a great place not too far from Central Vedauwoo, and it isn't nearly as crowded. This has got to be one of the prettiest areas at Vedauwoo - not nearly as much highway noise, stands of aspen trees, and quiet meadows for lounging at the base.
There are a ton of routes here in all ranges of difficulty. Classics would include Moors Crossing at 5.6, or the stellar cracks in the Climb and Punishment alcove. Most of the routes are cracksb(like everywhere at Vedauwoo), but some have a bit of face climbing, too.

Getting There
Drive about 2.5 miles past the main Vedauwoo turnoff to Road 700D. Turn left, and shortly after park at the locked gate. Hike to the junction with 700CD, where you turn right. Walk down the old road to the stream, and pick up a decent trail which heads towards the rock. The hike takes about 30 minutes, and is very pleasant.
Apparently there wasn't a locked gate on the road when the Vedauwoo guide was published, so the description here is a bit different than the guide.
