flaming gorge national recreation area is a recreation area in wyoming and
utah its centerpiece is the 91 miles long flaming gorge reservoir
i was excited to see the wildflowers blooming this time of year
the area was given the name flaming gorge by john
wesley powell during his 1869 expedition down the green river
due to the spectacular gorgeous red sandstone cliffs that surround this part of the river
this is really beautiful i can't believe i've never been here it's always
fun to explore new places for the first time it's gorgeous the weather is spectacular and i'm glad
that the clouds have parted because it did start out kind of overcast today it's been fun so far
maybe i spoke too soon about the beautiful sunny day those clouds are looking a little ominous
the amazing red canyon overlook is a must-see stop in flaming gorge country
the overlooked towers above the scenic red canyon about 700 feet wide and 1400 feet straight down
below wind the waters of lake flaming gorge
this looked like a peaceful place to stop for a short break
just a short drive from the reservoir takes you to the lush green mountains
i feel like i just stepped out of a scene of the sound of music the hills are alive so pretty
we took a drive on the sheep creek loop which was absolutely beautiful even in the rain
the loop takes you into the sheep creek geological area named after the rocky
mountain bighorn sheep that inhabit the area this site is dominated by the uinta crest
fault a section of folded and twisted rock that reveals millions of years of geological history
today was definitely a treat i always enjoy exploring and seeing new places and it was
absolutely beautiful and i feel like i use that adjective a lot which i do and that's because
so many of the places i visit are absolutely beautiful this is very different from wyoming
and montana where i just came from however it has its own unique beauty i'm looking out at these
crazy storm clouds over the reservoir and i saw a rainbow just a few minutes ago
it's stunning tonight i'm just going to make a very simple quick dinner i'm low on groceries
so i don't have many options simple that tastes good and then i think i'll just
go sit by the fire outside for a while and enjoy this which will be my last night here
nothing fancy here tonight just some basmati rice and some chicken
and voila it's done i'm just going to cut up the chicken mix it with the rice and
pour some soy sauce over looks kind of plain but i'm sure it'll be tasty
well i thought i was going to uh just have a relaxing evening by the fire however
dan offered up his uh kayak and i have not kayaked in years so that'd be fun
oh there's a rainbow
you can see the rainbow over here right there nice
after a beautiful time on the water and with tired arms it was time to relax
and wind down this trip i really enjoyed my time in flaming gorge and i look forward to visiting
again sometime in the future but now it was time to get ready to head out on my next adventure
you
