Marilyn and I had a great sightseeing day. We drove the Flaming Gorge Loop from Rock Springs south on US 191 to the Flaming Gorge Dam, then back up the other side of the Green River returning home – a total of 178 miles on the Jeep. The loop took us into Utah 
, and back into Wyoming. 
As we started the drive we were able to see mountains with deep valleys, and to the west we could see snow capped peaks. The Green River flows through the Uinta mountains, and joins with the Colorado River. 
We drove into the Flaming Gorge National Recreation Area at the Antelope Flat Overlook. 
At the next overlook, we could see the lake and this red rock formation that looked like a steak with a slice out of it. 
We took pictures of the front and back sides of the dam from overlooks. We even looked across and found this little waterfall. 
Next stop was Red Canyon. 
The views of the Green River at the bottom of the Red Canyon are spectacular. We heard an eagle, but did not get his picture, however, as we left Red Canyon, we saw this Mountain Goat. 
Northward, we came to Sheep Creek Geological Loop with its fantastic rock formations. 
Now that you have suffered through these pictures of rivers and rocks, I have a few of Prong Horned Antelope. We did get one facing us, but most of them just showed their butts. 
Hugs and Type at you Later.
