Snowy Range is a climbing area in the Laramie Ranger District of Medicine Bow-Routt National Forest in Wyoming, managed by the Forest Service. Bobbie Thomson Campground sits about 1.7 miles away, and Pelton Creek Campground lies about 5.2 miles off. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station at Centennial, Wyoming, put July highs around 76°F with lows near 48°F. That station sits a few hundred feet lower than the climbing area, so temperatures here run a little cooler. Nearby options include Douglas Creek, a canoeing spot about 2.5 miles away, the Medicine Bow Rail Trail for gravel biking about 4.7 miles out, and Devils Gate, a hike roughly 5 miles from the area.
