SET YOUR BOLD SIDE On Fire Something amazing happens when you strip away the crowds and set foot in one of the nation’s most unspoiled natural playgrounds. You get to rediscover what adventure is all about. Just 30 minutes south of the hustle and bustle of the city, Flaming Gorge Country is an outdoor lover’s wonderland. Situated where the rugged Uinta Mountains meet the expansive Wyoming desert, the breathtaking scenery is the perfect setting for year-round recreation—and home to a wide array of wildlife like moose, Rocky Mountain elk, pronghorn antelope, bighorn sheep and world-renowned trout. While you’re here, make yourself at home in a cozy lodge that gives you great access to trails, lakes and the tailwaters of Green River and Lake Flaming Gorge. The area offers hearty fare in their restaurants and fishing guides, raft and mountain bike rentals and horseback rides to keep you busy. Throughout history, Flaming Gorge Country has hosted mountain men, pioneers, outlaws and Native Americans. Today, it welcomes anyone with an insatiable appetite for hiking and biking the rugged terrain, fishing for record-breaking trout, camping under the stars and exploring the area on horseback. Even just taking a scenic drive or enjoying the Sheep Creek Geologic Loop Tour is enough to get your heart racing. And the fun here continues as the flakes fall in winter. From cross-country skiing, to snowshoeing the trails, to ice fishing for the big catch, cold-weather fanatics have plenty to do.
