Default Re: On the Road Again - Purple ZR-1 Road Trip to Utah

Thanks for the suggestions. Steve, you may have explained the strange looks from the people in the next cabin as I was loading the Z.


Day 14: On Monday, Memorial Day, we remembered those who served in our nation's Armed Services and fought for freedom against tyranny.



Just north of the Flaming Gorge Dam there is a constructed overlook. The views from there of the Flaming Gorge Reservoir are wonderful.




The view from the overlook looking west shows only a small portion of the 90 mile length of the reservoir:




We decided to explore the Green River below the dam. We drove across the top of the dam and turned onto Spillway Boat Launch Road. From the spillway looking up the road appears to be suspended on the canyon wall:




The Green River is very beautiful. The Canyon walls rise high on each side of the river with forest atop on each side.

There is a narrow, well traveled path on one side of the river that we hiked for more than a mile:



The swiftly flowing river reflects the opposite side of the canyon:




There were many people on the river this morning. Boaters, fisherman, drifters, and hikers:
