This Saturday, Danny and I wanted to go explore the territory a little bit. The weather has been decent lately, and we heard that Flaming Gorge was spectacular, even in the winter. So, we decided that we'd get some lunch and take a drive up there.
Sure enough, the snow only adds to its beauty this time of year. The park itself is gorgeous, but the 30 minute drive is also quite wonderful. Vernal is famous for two things: oil and dinosaurs. The drive up there has historical signs along the way explaining the type of ancient terrain that once existed. You go up 10 switch backs on a mountain, and so the valley gets more vast and beautiful the farther up you go.
We welcome visitors, especially this summer, to come back to the gorge with us!! There's a marina in the park, and this would make for an excellent family or friends' canoe trip. Rentals aren't too bad, and we could easily picnic in the park before or afterwards. It would be so much fun!!!
Whether or not you're up for the canoeing and/or hiking trails, and regardless of the season in which any of you can come out our direction, it would still be a fun afternoon outing :-)
