Little John's Meditation Boulder is a bouldering area in the Laramie Ranger District of the Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest in Wyoming. The Forest Service manages the land. Bouldering here ranges from V2 to V11, with six routes spread across the area. Blair's V2 is the easiest, and The Bayesian Algorithm is the hardest. John's Meditation Traverse sits at V8. The Anteater was first climbed by Ben Williams, and Blair's V7 is another named boulder. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Laramie run from highs around 73°F in June to 81°F in July, with July lows near 52°F. That station sits roughly 1,000 feet lower than the boulders, so temperatures up high run cooler. Several other climbing areas sit close by. John's Tower is 0.1 mile away, North Corner is 0.2 mile, and East Corner is 0.3 mile. For an overnight base, Vedauwoo Campground is about 2.8 miles away.
