LISTEN TO A GUIDED AUDIO TOUR As you cruise along picturesque roads, learn about the passing landmarks, top wildlife-viewing spots and more with the Flaming Gorge Scenic Byway Audio Tour. FLAMING GORGE BUS TOUR One of the best ways to traverse Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area is with a full-day, private bus tour. Leave the planning to the pros and let your sense of wonder take over. Your knowledgeable local guide will show you what southwest Wyoming is all about with breathtaking vistas and cool facts about the area’s wildlife, geology and history. During the tour, your crew will travel across dramatic landscapes on an air-conditioned motor coach. The nine curated stops include Red Canyon, Flaming Gorge Dam, Sheep Creek and Firehole Canyon for pictures of deep, blue waters and gravity-defying rock formations. This tour is fun for all ages, with trivia, a scavenger hunt for the kids (and the kids at heart) and more. In addition to a delicious boxed lunch, you’ll enjoy Food Network-famous Cowboy Donuts, ice cream, snacks and bottled water along the route. Just bring yourself, comfortable walking shoes and a camera to snap pics of the canyon scenery. Private, discounted tours are available for groups of 20 or more passengers, with tickets at $49 per person. DRIVE AROUND THE FLAMING GORGE RESERVOIR YOURSELF Enjoy the sights of the reservoir at your own pace with leisurely stops along the way. Take your time to watch herds of pronghorn antelope romp across the plateau and admire the red-streaked cliffsides. Or, extend your trip with an overnight stay at nearby campgrounds and sleep beneath the twinkling stars. This drive is a partially off-grid experience with limited cell service. Be sure to pack extra water and snacks. If possible, travel in a high-clearance, four-wheel-drive vehicle and let someone know when you plan to return.
