Flaming Gorge NRA

If you need to see the location of Flaming Gorge in a larger scale, check my previous blog.

Wow! did we ever enjoy this place. We would (will) go back for a longer stay someday. It is just beautiful and clean with gorgeous (excuse the pun?) vistas and perfect water for kayaking, boating and fishing.



There are private campgrounds with RV hookups, but the NRA primitive campgrounds have very nice, clean flush bathrooms, with water available in various spots, and dump stations in several campgrounds. The camp hosts in Firefighters keep the place immaculate! Kudos!

You must come prepared for your stay as the closest supplies are in Vernal, UT, about 40 miles south on the steep and curvy US 191.

As you drive to the west along the south side of the river the gorge narrows and the land rises offering unique views and scenic places to camp or picnic.

We enjoyed our brief stay in Flaming Gorge NRD. 

Next time we'll spend a LOT more time. 

We want to explore, kayak, rent a power boat and just soak up the clean, cool mountain air. 

God's remarkable creation in wondrous display.
