Flaming Gorge
Our day trip today took us to Flaming Gorge, about 60 miles from our campground. This was truly awesome, it ranks as the best day trip ever. Scenery was stupendous. I’ll post an album of highlights, but there is no way to capture the grandeur of these mountains and gorges on a digital image.
The first images show Flaming Gorge highlights, then there are images from the Geological Scenic Byway — a rather small, heavily potholed road that had scenery beyond compare.
