| We took a day trip
along the Flaming Gorge Scenic Byway which runs 28 miles around the
southwestern corner of Flaming Gorge to the town of Manila. There were
great views of Sheep Creek Bay and other parts of the gorge. |
 |
| Parts of the route
was through pine and aspen forests as well as open meadows. |
 |
| We also drove the
Sheep Creek Loop which runs through the sheer, rugged canyon walls of
Sheep Creek Canyon. |
 |
| Beautiful rock
outcroppings were all around us. |
 |
| And the colors of
the rocks were vivid. Unfortunately, it was cloudy the day we drove
the loop so the photos don't do justice. |
 |
| We followed Sheep
Creek, then Hope Creek along the loop. I couldn't resist snapping
this photo of another creek emptying into the main creek. |
 |
| This was among the
most unusual rock formations we saw. The rocks had literally been
pushed up to a vertical position and there were many thin layers in each
group. Amazing! |
