Craig, CO to Flaming Gorge, UT

From Craig, we headed on the most direct route to Flaming Gorge Reservoir/Green River. We knew we would be on rural roads away from sizeable towns, but we were somewhat surprised when the “Welcome to Utah” sign marked the beginning of a 35-mile drive through a well-known (to the locals) wilderness area, most of which was very rough. It turned out to be a pleasant surprise! In fact, I wished I had my Utah fishing license at that point, as there were several very remote access sites on the Green River that were very appealing. We have really enjoyed the sights and sounds of the back roads out here. The Statue of Liberty barn, desert waterfall, interesting tree formations, and ospreys, all enhance the already interesting landscape.
